Just went
over the new Kalaklan Bridge. Great to see the big, paved parking lot and
modern guard facilities. The bridge appears to be well-designed and the stop
light on the national highway is literally a life-saver. As hard as it is for Subic’s
incessant grumblers and whiners to admit, SBMA officials did the right thing
with this bridge. They identified that it was unsafe, closed it down for safety
purposes and designed and built a much better facility as quickly as they
could. It now serves the rapidly growing traffic to resorts and businesses much
better than the old one. Thank you SBMA for a job well done! (But don’t wait
for the bridge whiners to apologize for all their griping.)
No reason to, the bridge was determined to be unsafe in 1996, just took 14 years to get around to replacing it
ReplyDeletedon't be afraid to admit if you were one of the whiners when they finally did close the bridge.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bridge whiner. A year to construct a dinky little river crossing? Half the time no one was working. Mostly there were guys with rags on their heads wearing flip-flops sleeping under card board boxes.There should have been 3 shifts going round the clock with arc lights. China built a mega kilometer bullet train in the same time frame. California closed 10 miles of the San Diego freeway for 53 hours and did repairs. The main gate bridge at SBMA still isn't fixed. Apparently SBMA is waiting for Daddy Shoe Mart to do it for them which is just as well since the mall is going up way faster than the bridge did.
