Why wasn't the supervisor of the crew contacting them to get off the bridge, they should have got the call the same time the police got the call. I believe there is always Bridge Patrol Cars close by at both ends(Northbound and Southbound) of bridges like this to shut down things quick incase of vehicle accidents and such. That is why the patrol cars on both ends were already in place so quickly, If patching say on one side of the bridge(northbound side), you wouldn't need any patrol car on other end(southbound side) to do patch work on northbound side. Here in Virginia where there are lots of tunnels going through mountains, the tunnels are monitored 24/7 plus cars stationed at each end of the tunnels incase of problems.

Most people on this site show no mercy, when given a chance they will jump all over you. Sadly par for the course on this site. 😞

I assume not all bridges have the capabilities of building the supports on land though. The length of the span also can make this a problem and the type of bridge it is. Suspension bridge,etc. This was just an unlucky event,if this issue happens with the ship out at sea all we maybe hear about is a stranded ship out at sea and it is towed back to a port for repairs.
