Except it couldn’t close close because the heat expansion meant it had to remain open open.

The US should sell off some of its used cars inventory, like here is a slightly used F35, maybe a battleship or two, do some maintenance at home.

It’s closed closed to traffic but open open mechanically mechanically.

It’ll be a great day when schools have all the money they need and that Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.

…that the best name you could think up, Virginia? The “Great Bridge Bridge” ? Sounds like something a 6-year-old came up with, or the kind of name you use when everyone’s tired and just wants to go home for the night.

Why don’t they cut an inch off during the summer and weld it back on during the winter.

Look, we’re not very creative here, okay? We have Natural Bridge, which is a natural bridge; Grottoes, which has grottoes; and Short Pump, which is a short pump. We also have Lickinghole Creek.
Creativity is overrated, anyway.

The bridge’s metal parts expanded and overlapped
That seems on-brand for a bridge bridge.
