Hoard Road Bridge

This is what's left of the old bridge
They couldn't even clean up after themselves! This bridge is now a pile of firewood laying next to the ugly new monstrosity.

Description
This bridge was located on a dead-end country road with an ADT of only 20; perfect justification to spend millions to remove it and replace it with an ugly concrete eyesore, wasting taxpayer money, when the existing bridge could have been rehabilitated for far less. Dodge County ought to be ashamed of itself. EPIC FAIL.Facts

How do I vote here? Shall I base my rating on the new bridge, the remains of the old bridge, or what the bridge once was?
