If it's quieter than rickety steel, it'd be a WINNER!There is a big difference between the old stuff and the new stuff. The modern stuff will cast a larger shadow because, well, it's larger. It will have a wider deck and concrete acoustical sound deflecting parapets. The small foot print (roughly 3') of steel columns will be replaced by concrete columns with footprints ranging from 6' to 8'. Spans between column bents maybe greater then what was used on the old stuff, but the look of the fewer concrete columns will make it look far more massive then the steel columns that supports the old stuff.
