J.P., I know that was just a typo (Lord knows, I place plenty of typos myslef) but when I read that, I instantly had an image of this movie poster in my mind, only wearing a bridal gown. (Where's Darryl Hannah when you need her?)

I will have to admit i really like the railing on top of the bridge. Makes the bride look awesome, and like its going to eat your car.

The Scottsburg Bridge is obsolete and dangerously narrow for the truck and RV traffic it carries. Many large trucks are forced to cross the centerline at the abutments due to the severe approach angle. Has ODOT begun the process of replacing this bridge? Where is it in that process?

Thank you.
