We had one in our town. It connected the second floors of two buildings. Absolutely stupid. They finally took it down.
In my Florida town they built a Pedestrian Tunnel under the main highway when it was rebuilt! No bridges falling nor kids throwing boulders onto cars!
Looking at the pics, there’s a traffic light maybe 500 feet away. The bridge wasn’t even needed?
...
I would like to see the statistics for injured pedestrians at that intersection. It’s been there for many years.
In early reporting of this incident it was said that some kid got hit by a car so they decided to make the bridge.
