Would a Google car do any better?
RE: I-10 Bridge Collapse between Phoenix and LA
So the same storm rained out the game (first rainout in 20 years) and screwed up his return trip.
RE: I-10 Bridge Collapse between Phoenix and LA
That presumes that the failure occurred sufficiently before the stopping distance of the car. That's just not the way Mother Nature rolls.

Note that my wife and I were driving back home to California from our vacation in Michigan only we were returning via I-40 Sunday afternoon. It was raining hard enough that there were times when we could barely see 100 feet in front of us. In all we were gone 18 days and drove a total of 6,001 miles (exactly), visiting a total of 11 states. It was great, except for the heavy rain across Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana going, and SoCal coming home.

It also looks like part of the bridge siding remained up.
Is this a busy highway, or this guy unlucky? And why not on a bigger truck?

I have heard reports of 7 inches of rain in an area that normally gets less than that in a whole year

Uh...close. Jacksonville to LA
Almost slide rule accuracy!
RE: I-10 Bridge Collapse between Phoenix and LA
Would a for profit outfit be willing to build, operate, and collect tolls for such a road?
Sorry for your luck.
Does it really matter if it goes to Miami or Jacksonville? I am guessing most of the traffic dosen't travel that far.

RE: I-10 Bridge Collapse between Phoenix and LA
That was not what I was talking about. Why would a corporation build a parallel road? Why would a city or state build a parallel road? Same question, and same answer. For the few times it is unavailable it's not worth building a second road.
Now that I said that, the pictures show a access road, but like the other part of the highway, it also might be damaged by the same flood.
I am supposing that the damage was from the flood, and not by some truck traffic, but if you have other information, lets hear it.
Agreed that truck traffic, which is rarely for personal use, does create most of the road damage, and it would be fair if they payed more in taxes for upkeep of the 'commons'.
See now you got me off on road taxes, and that's not what I intended at all.
