Is this concrete with no rebar?
- michaelt 8y agoLook how cleanly the center span has split into six. It must have been made of six precast concrete beams [1] which would have been lifted into place by crane. You don't see any exposed rebar because the deck beams themselves haven't broken. Shame they fell off when the blue metal pier sank.
