I will hate to be the Civil Engineer responsible for this.

The responsibility they carry is the reason why they get the big bucks.

Add to it the number of times I've seen contractor lying and cheating on the concrete quality in order to make savings and you get a bridge without proper pillars ready to collapse.

Wow, very hectic!

Was this a temporary pedestrian bridge or was this a pedestrian bridge being built?
