As the Ukraine story has pushed the Canadian story out of the headlines, we are up next. It would seem to me our redux of the Canadian story is not going to have the same sensationalized impact as the Ukraine story; although, because DC is its own sovereign power, we may get a twist. Recently, a friend in Idaho sent me a vid showing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge with multitudes of recently installed swinging road block gates. I am wondering if those swinging road block gates have been placed around entrances to Washington DC. Has anyone noticed other new swing gates on bridges and/or road ways into DC? Crazy, but we already know that Obama armed and ammoed our bureaucracies to the teeth. Is it so far fetched to think that our bureaucrats literally are going to fight us to continue to steal from us?

The gates are installed because high winds have blown semis right over the side and into the Bay. High winds, closed gate. They won't be closing them off and backing up traffic on Shore Drive.
That's what their web site says and I don't believe it. I would think that if Semi's were continually blown off bridges, any bridge, it would have to be big story. Where is the story?

Thanks, I have seen the video. I do not believe this is a recurring problem, perhaps a one-off event, and would warrant deployment of massive road block gates on the bridge.
It's also for hurricanes. They have them all up and down I-64/264, they try to keep people from driving into flooded areas or not following evacuation routes. 14 years there, never saw them used.
