Jams,

They have been working for a year now on the main bridge on I-5 that crosses an arm of Shasta Lake as chunks had fallen out and you could look through the holes and re-bar and see the water about 100' below. Also the railroad bridge runs right under the highway bridge, so if a section of the highway collapsed, it would take the railroad too. A lot of this problem had to do with lack of maintenance plus the bridge was not really built for the amount of heavy truck traffic it has over it now.
