ChrisY1 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 It's almost a ground level crack.....not an overhead. Looks like a poor transition of levels on the ramp and likely been there for a long time 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crossy Posted July 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2023 Settlement crack in the non-structural barrier. Shouldn't be there, but no hazard and certainly no risk of collapse. As above "a dab of Polyfilla" ???? "Drama-addict" - most apt. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the opposite to what you claim occurred in this case, If you hadn't noticed, they are acting before an accident happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can asure you of your wrong assumption. As others pointed out it is settlement/movement and crack in the parapets. A slight settlement in the foundation shows wide crack in the bridge parapet although strange it did not appear in the expansion joint on the centre between the 2 spans.
