Perhaps, but what about the weight of the tractor-trailers, buses and hordes of all other vehicles crossing today? When the bridge was first opened, the upper level did not exist for vehicles; it is now a 4-lane road many times jammed beyond belief. And those vehicles were much, much lighter and of far less volume than what crosses the bridge today. Surely some crafty engineering could help. I'm of the opinion something can be done to put at least a minimum 2-track rail service somewhere, be it on the outer lower levels or upper one. |
