Excellent commentary on 'The Great American Way'.

One - All concrete - in ALL structures begins to degrade after 50 years !

Only - one - to my knowledge, has ever been built with a 100 year forward thought.

The Confederation bridge to PEI. All the sand was washed and tested for 'salt content' and all the rebar in the structure was coated with 'anti corrosion' rubber.

Look around you - everything made of concrete - will begin to die after 50 years.

The shocking truth of our modern 'cost cutting world'.

Thanks Diane for the wake up call.
