Extreme climate events like heat and flooding are accelerating the deterioration of bridges, causing them to age prematurely and posing a threat to transportation safety.
We have a bridge crisis that is specifically tied to extreme weather events... These are not things that would happen under normal climate circumstances.
Bridges designed and built decades ago... are now rapidly swelling and contracting, leaving them weakened due to sharp temperature swings.
It's getting so hot that the pieces that hold the concrete and steel, those bridges can literally fall apart like Tinkertoys.
