The analysis we've done -- the rigorous structural analysis based on the last inspection report -- indicates that this bridge should not have fallen down on its own accord without something else happening to it.

Given the outcry here tonight, we have to step back and consider what we're doing here. Maybe there's a Plan C out there.

If they love Electric Earth and what we've done there, they are going to love this place even more.

We're looking at any adjacent box-beam structures with a bituminous deck and a condition rating of structurally deficient in any one of three categories--the deck, superstructure [beams] and substructure [piers and back walls].

Our bridges are going to be a test bed for the rest of the nation.

We got to this situation not overnight. We're not going to turn it around overnight.
