anyone remember the wilson bridge jumper problem?

Route 295 reopened in Prince George's Co. -- baltimoresun.com:

The Baltimore Washington Parkway has been reopened after being closed earlier this afternoon when chunks of concrete fell from a bridge onto the roadway.

Shortly after noon, fist-sized pieces of concrete fell from the Greenbelt Road Bridge onto the northbound lanes of the parkway in Prince George's County, according to the United States Park Police. No crashes or injuries were reported but both the bridge and the parkway beneath the bridge were closed. As of 2:30 p.m., all lanes on both roads were open.

In the initial confusion after the parkway was closed, it was unclear which level of government was responsible for the bridge. A state highway administration spokesman said it was a federal bridge, while the park police spokesman said he understood that it was a state owned bridge.

*sigh* I love bureaucrats...

If there's a problem... it belongs to you!
If there's no problem... it belongs to me!

And the correct answer being: it's a state-owned bridge dropping concrete on a federal/state jointly-owned roadway.
