In my most recent Substack, I look into how the Lansing Black Hawk Bridge’s closure is a far different situation than the Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge’s collapse.
I wrote it because I expected there to be stories about national infrastructure, and I wasn’t disappointed. An AP story comes with a twist: The eastbound Burlington Street Bridge in Iowa City, which carries northbound IA 1, is somehow NOT maintained by the Iowa DOT. I may look into that further.
