just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.  the math checked out on paper for the design, but to transport the structure to its final place and post they had to rotate it out on the road. they did not run the numbers for a shortcut they took while doing this. instead of busting out the sidewalk to keep it level while moving they changed the placement of the lifting carriage. the women engineers okayed doing this without any thought on the matter and it fucked up the post tension process to where they couldn't achieve the numbers they were supposed to. from there the bridge was a ticking time bomb.
