Do you live in a bumblefuck town?
I remember when a bridge was washed away from Monsey for a few years. If you downloaded the patch for your GPS, it would automatically reroute you.
Yeah, sorta.
Its a suburb of a bumblefuck city, which housed one of the largest crime syndicates outside of the "five boroughs".
Most of the people here have no clue.
Those sorts of projects are all racketed, and sometimes when something (as mentioned) gets "undone" or never happens, it's because of weird reasons. That bridge could stay broken for another ten years. Then someone will buy a piece of property nearby, and it'll suddenly get fixed.
Naturally, the property would be cheap because the bridge was a problem.
