I notice that several people are bringing up Texas bridges in this thread for some reason. One extremely major difference between bridges located in Pittsburgh

  As someone from Pittsburgh now living in Texas this thread is wild indeed. Infrastructure is not simple, and localities have different challenges. Sure, Texas may have bridges in better conditions, but when the snowstorm hit last year I didn’t go running around saying “Dang the city of Austin has only one snowplow?” (Okay, actually I did, but only as a “that makes perfect sense, no wonder this snowstorm hit so hard here even though it didn’t seem bad by my standards, we have no infrastructure or general cultural understanding of what to do, it makes sense that this is a terrible storm here even if it wouldn’t have been a big deal back home.”)
