WHAT, EXACTLY, DOES “CRITICAL” MEAN?
An article in yesterday’s local paper said that one of the main bridges into the city “is actually in critical condition.” This is according to the director of the Michigan Department of Transportation. There are plans to replace it – in 2018. Some repairs will be done next summer in order to keep it going until 2018. He says, “At some point you need to recognize there is an end to its useful life … It will not stand forever.”
I will try hard not to think of his remarks whenever I drive over that bridge.
