Im no bridge engineer either, but it is my understanding that wind induced resonance is generally only a problem on suspension bridges

Thanks.

I still remember the Sunshine Skyway collapse in St Petersburg, Florida years ago when a barge hit it.

I had to drive over that bridge a lot back in the day, and that bridge was pretty high up, I couldn’t imagine the horror that falling that far must have been.
