    I'd check the trusses beneath it just make sure they didn't scrap some of those as well.

    As of a half hr ago they were saying on the radio that it was still only 1 lane open and they were waiting for a replacement man hole cover to show up.

    I actually had to buy a man hole cover once. Our replacement was made in India...

    I asked myself the same thing when it came up missing. Who the hell takes a manhole cover?

    This is just a thought but, since it was on a bridge, maybe they used it for weight for something thrown off the bridge??!! Or, maybe I've seen too many gangster movies!:innocent0

    It took them all day to do the fix. You'd think the State Highway would have an extra one someplace. It had to be more than a missing manhole cover.

    Made in China, it is on the slow boat!:innocent0

    Now, thanks to your friendly neighbourhood undocumented worker, another one is on it's way back to China to be melted along with the other scrap, to be made into manhole covers. The circle is complete.

    Can Hillary Clinton account for her whereabouts for the period in question ?

    Did any vehicle "hit" the open hole? Used for a weight, as in to ensure something sunk deep, hmmm. While that bridge is over 100 feet in the air, the water under it is just as deep. First time I brought a new boat under the bridge my depth alarm started going off. Seems it was set to 5 foot and 100ft at the factory.

    The submarine is actually a between the world war submarines. There is a WWII submarine sunk in the Potomac, a German war prize. Navy EOD practice dives on the boat sunk off of point patience. Somtimes you will see a Navy ocean going type tug anchored off of the Navy Solomons, the divers support ship.
