I am NOT against the new bridge. I just don't like terms like "delicate" used to describe civil engineering projects. I prefer "robust". Remember the Tacoma Narrows bridge and others as well.

Of course, every one of the builders of these bridges were certain that they would not collapse, but they all did. Compare the definitions of these two terms:
del·i·cate ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dl-kt) adj.
Exquisitely fine or dainty: delicate china.
Frail in constitution or health.
Easily broken or damaged: a kite too delicate to fly.
ro·bust ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-bst, rbst) adj.
Powerfully built; sturdy.
I don't want to driver over any delicate bridges.
