Autobahn A45 Chatter

 For those who aren't familiar with A45....it's a 257 km (160 miles) long autobahn.....running from Dortmund in the north, to Frankfurt in the central region.  If you were around in the 1960s/1970s....you watched it being built.  There are 60 bridges on this autobahn.

Well...it's come up that the inspectors have all agreed and said that every single bridge has to be replaced.  

The general plan?  Over the next five to ten years....while the old bridges stand, the new bridges and entry/exit points will be added....then the old bridges will be torn down.

A massive effort?  Yeah, and likely to create a significant slow-down around each one of these bridges.
