| some moron tried to burn down the Pattullo Bridge
Quote:
SURREY (NEWS1130) - Bad news for commuters, a fire on the Pattullo Bridge will have it shut down in both directions throughout tomorrow morning's commute.
The blaze began around 3am.
The wooden beams under the bridge deck caught on fire and then spread to the actual bridge itself.
Inspector Derren Lench with Surrey RCMP says there were cars on the bridge when the fire broke out.
"Upon arrival they found flames that were coming up onto the south end of the Pattullo Bridge from both sides of the bridge deck. There was traffic found on the bridge, I think there was a bus actually stopped right in the location of the fire and some other vehicles."
Ken Hardie with TransLink says the span will remain closed until structural engineers can do a thorough assessment.
"The engineers told me a few moments ago, the bridge will not be open tomorrow morning. We have damage assessments such that they don't feel safe letting the bridge open. We're going to take a look at those timbers to see what are our options are."
What sparked the fire has not yet been determined, however investigators are treating the fire as suspicious.
| The translink guy said on Global that if its severe it will take a month to replace the section damaged.

Well, if it did burn down, there'd be no choice but to build another bridge.

Maybe with all the downtime now, they can fix all the craters on the deck now.
