Care to explain?

Is that the contract number? bill number for appropriated funding?
some other pertitent number?

Or just some semi-random creation by your grey matter?

Because the arch is shaped like a rainbow. Now if we painted a rainbow on the arch, I think that would be real cool.

there used to be a little bridge outside of livermore (where I grew up) that had a ton of never removed graffity on it. some kids decided to repaint the whole bridge white again and then artistically paint things on it. Last I knew it was still decorated with things like the zig zag man and other artistically done paintings

The GLBT community would probably agree with you.

Folsom Dam Road Closed Bridge

But surely they are going to name it after some obscure local potentate that 95% of us have never heard of and the other 5% really hate.

Sounds like a map coordinate to me.

I say we call the stinking bridge--hells pass through.

Oh, wait that would never get elected.

all right I'll try to be a little positive about that incredibly miserably loud, as soon as its built it will be obsolete for the needs of this area--environmentally unsound and quite ugly bridge.

lemme see: johnny cash wasn't so bad--except I'm pretty sure his name is a trademark and Folsom would be sued for using it.

hmmmn-how about Beale Pt. Bridge?

I'm sure if we named the bridge after Johnny Cash, we could get the family's permission, and they'd probably show up for the dedication.

Doesn't match any map coordinates I'm familiar with.

Your search - 36A0018MRS6643G - did not match any documents.

I'm surprised google found nothing. I expected it to at least find this thread. I know it finds other stuff in this forum.

BTW, it will be cool to see the level of Folsom Lake again.

Has anyone seen the crazy intersection they are planning for Briggs Ranch Rd when this is completed? I've heard that it will be left turn only going from Briggs Ranch onto Natoma for the western end of Briggs Ranch Road.

For sake of keeping it simple -I'd call it Folsom Dam Bypass Bridge.
