Thread: Near miss on Hwy 408 outside Benton

Whoever is responsible they are dangerously narrow and low height. I could see a wheel hit them and go off and over the side. Drive at your own risk as far as I am concerned.

Luckily they are in a long enough of a straight stretch that you can see what's coming and slow down enough to time your crossing so as to avoid others on it at the same time.

Oh I agree. Problem is there is never enough money in the state's highway fund to do what they need to do. Hard to believe that there are many bridges that are worse and higher on the priority list. With gas not selling like it was, the highway budget is going to be hit hard for quite a while.
