Hey Indiana State Highway Dept! Is this bridge gonna rust-in-peaces? When are you gonna paint this bridge? Are you gonna let it ruin the structure and condition of this bridge before you ever get it painted? It is such an eyesore....I hear people talk about how pitiful it looks!! Could you please inform me about your plans for this bridge....we all love and depend on that bridge....or will we be going back to ferry boats?
