    This bridge was built by local people.

      So the local people know how to build a bridge? That's not realistic.

      @@Matt-fl8uy That really depends on how big a span is needed and how much weight it has to hold up.
      The bridge shown in the picture looks to be less than 20 ft long and really only need to provide a flat, level crossing over a washed out area. I doubt it's more than 6 ft above the ground/water.
      Any halfway decent carpenter with resources and an engineer to advise him could probably build one like it.

    I've read hundreds of bridges/culverts are out. So anything that's reasonable for even short term light duty use helps.

      Deployed and working, they have brought in a bunch of temporary bridges as well. A massive area has been impacted even with over a thousand people deployed there is enough to cover everything.

    See, no one can do everything but most can do something whatever that is making sandwiches for those who build bridges or those who drive side-by-sides back and forth with supplies to others. Or as in this particular case reporting about positive things happening to boost confidence for those who help out. And yes these news will spread from mouth to mouth. Like: -They have built a bridge so now there's a way in/out of..

    I think people are going to be stunned at how quickly all of this gets functionally rebuilt as the USA has so much equipment available from the 2020-2022 building mania that blew up so can simply start locating this equipment all over said Region then slowly put together something workable all the way en route to the various Dams and impoundments at which point might have thousands of pieces of equipment available and tens of thousands of workers maybe even more of both. Far easier for the heavy equipment providers to open up a Dealership upon said Region at this point actually than try and sustain or maintain at a distance an overview of all that is around centered upon #Asheville would greatly aid your viewers at this point as everything there is so close together whether booming Huntsville, Alabama or also booming Knoxville TN obviously Asheville NC itself but areas in Georgia and South Carolina and far Western Virginia such as Bristol few have ever heard of😊

      The Military has limited resources, so they have to place them where there is the greatest "payback." I'm sure the bridge featured was built by locals. The region has a high concentration of Tradesmen and other Entrepreneurs. They'd welcome help, but they won't wait on it.

      What’s funny dear boy is the fact that your feeble brain cannot comprehend the extensive area that is devastated. There hundreds of bridges that have been washed away. Just how much bridging equipment do you think the military has in its arsenal? The military, my uninformed friend will be utilizing its resources in areas of higher priority first. There’s a good lad. Now sit down and let the adults discuss these important matters. Cheers!
