#5 That is without a doubt the most manly bridge deck I have ever seen. There looks like there is a shitload of rebar in the foreground of one of the pictures, all bent up. But not a piece in the deck. It's so damned thick I be they were trying to figure out how to build a bridge without any rebar by making the deck 8ft thick. That, or someone just stole the money for the rebar.
