Island Living

When you live on an island, driving over bridges is a necessity.

The accident on the bridge between Sea Isle City and Ocean City on Tuesday is a scenario we have all thought about:  http://tinyurl.com/4hl9fdp

Thankfully, the two teenagers survived- but I can’t imagine how scary it was for all involved.

Extensive rust on railings does not provide confidence about the structural integrity of a bridge.  I kayak under a few local bridges and can verify that salt air is brutal on the metal components. 

I hope that this accident is the incentive to find the funds and make the deferred repairs.
