If the bridge was no longer there why wasn't there massive unmovable concrete barriers in the road?

I was as baffled as you are, until I law the location it happened.

Well, could you link it? What about the location makes it obvious that they didn't plate unmovable concrete barriers?

[–] mikegioia@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The article just says there were no barriers placed. There were no pictures but it mentions Snow Creek Lake in North carolina as the location if you want to map it on google.

I don't get any results for Snow Creek Lake NC. There's a Snow Creek township but it doesn't have any lakes I can see

Ok the first paragraph says

Snow Creek in Hickory, North Carolina

other sources lead me to it https://maps.app.goo.gl/zJNzNtordE6YrbJn8

Unless they fixed the bridge since this incident it still says you can use this road....

It says the road is closed now.
