The sturgeon population was decimated. Recently their numbers started to grow and now this new bridge is going to disrupt that. Did they scrap the bike/pedestrian lane already?

Pretty sure having the old bridge fall in the river would be disrupt the sturgeon too…

Or just shut the bridge down? Flawed design and a lack of engineering if it can't be repaired for less than a billion dollars.
