I have no idea if there is a megaload scheduled to move over this
bridge in the not-too-distant future, or if there is whether or
not their engineers have inspected the bridge in question; but if
there is and they haven't I am sure they thank you for bringing
such a potential problem to their attention.<br>

If megaloads are planned to cross this bridge, expect
a lot of bellyaching from Tom and others. If it's
just people driving their cars over it who are risk of
death and injury, expect no one to care. You need to
keep in mind that the megaload movements need to be
blocked because their payload is intended for water
purification. That's the real outrage.<br>

an asinine thing to say. But, if we’re
going for the truly absurd, which both
Scott and Gary seem to want, saying that a
best case scenario for those objecting to
the mega-loads would be a catastrophic
bridge collapse is like saying that a best
case scenario for those who worship at the
2A alter is for more school shootings so
that one will eventually happen in a
school where a 2Aer has a gun to “take
out” the goblin and hence make the ideal
2”A trumps all” case.</span></p>

<br>
Your use of the words goblin and catastrophic
bridge collapse remind me of a new book title --
Raising Steam -- which is the 40th volume in Terry
Pratchett's Discworld series of humorous fantasy
entertainments. I borrowed the audio book version
of this title from the local library and used it
to acclimatize myself to a new pair of headphones
-- wireless ones this time -- and was quite
pleased with the performance of the audio
performer Stephen Briggs of Terry Pratchett's
text.<br>
<br>
The relevance of this material to the matter at
hand is merely to note that, unlike in Discworld,
when it seems necessary to move very heavy loads
across bridges that may be either non-existent or
not designed for such heavy loads, additional
calculations and engineering are strongly
advised. In this world, unlike in Discworld,
solutions involving the surreptitious use of
magical municipal assets are not available.
Getting and applying the knowledge of the sliding
rule, as one of the book's characters would
suggest, is a prerequisite for becoming a master
engineer and successfully solving such problems.<br>
