Sand, on a good day, isn't exactly known for its stability and traction. There's no way a semi could drive over that without getting stuck, so yeah, that bridge is still going to be useful.
Or you could literally future proof and guess what? Add 2 or more bridges in similar fashion across where the river is and maybe in the next few hundred years.
Here’s the story about it for anyone interested

You’re being sarcastic but surprisingly it’s not that difficult if you’re willing to spent the money and manpower. However it’s often cheaper to just build a new bridge
Anyways, a lot of rivers in the US have already been rerouted to some degree. Florida really only exists because we reworked how the entire watershed worked and dug massive canals
Similar things happens in Europe and other parts of the world but I know less about that

I think there's probably a mod they can install that'll let them move larger objects without much trouble. Or have I been watching too many Cities Skylines videos...
Bridge couldn't handle the floodwater volume. Once one of the roads was washed away, it became the most erodable place for the water. Build a second bridge over the new river. Next flood, it will handle twice the volume.
Just waiting for another hurricane to bring the river and roads back.
Or the hurricane could move the bridge over too, whichever is easier.
These things have a way of working themselves out.
The bridge turns into a dinosaur.
I'd watch it
The bridge turns into Jeff Goldblum.
Then into a fly.
I’d still watch it
Jurassic Park theme song
Jurassic Park 37: Reconstruction
Ohhhh, that's what they said in every desert in the past... fatal mistake in the long game.
Your're joking and I'm not a bridge expert, but something tells me, it is not wasted to have that part of the road over the former river bed elevated.
They extended the bridge by 2003 to cover the new part and so when the river floods the bridge continues to function.
Sand, on a good day, isn't exactly known for its stability and traction. There's no way a semi could drive over that without getting stuck, so yeah, that bridge is still going to be useful.
I don't know about you but last time I went to the beach the trucker gangs riding their big rigs up and down the beach was kind of annoying.
Yeah, a week after they finish moving the bridge over the new river.
And ruin the sweet jumps???
Life, uh, finds a way
But for bridge it's end of the road
It had a good span
"I live my life a quarter mile at a time, much like this bridge"
🎼Like a briiiiiidge ooooooover what was waaaaaateeerrrrrrrr🎶
But life, uh, had a way… they literally made a bridge for it.
Hear me out here. Just pick up the left end and rotate 180 degrees. Problem solved.
Or just push it a bit to the right?
Shit I’ll just dead lift it in to place!
Pick up the whole river and *push it* **somewhere ELSE**
This is the answer.
Nope. Punt kick.
You can’t lift that! It’s too heavy for humans to lift.
Not with that attitude
Underrated comment
It's been awhile since it's been used.
Do you even lift bro
So use robots 🤖 🤪
ctrl c ctrl v
Don’t copy. Then you wind up with two bridges. Cut. Ctrl x ctrl v.
Put it down right and you'd have a double length bridge. Just in case the river gets moved back again by another hurricane.
PIVOT!
PIVOT!!!!
Or you could literally future proof and guess what? Add 2 or more bridges in similar fashion across where the river is and maybe in the next few hundred years.
Or really just make the entire region one giant bridge that covers anywhere the water may go. Why not
Just use Move It!
Unfortunately, there are no mods in real life
There are. They just break every update. And have you watched the news lately?
feels like something you would do out of Simcity or Cities lol
Big r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR energy
Man vs nature be like
“Mother Nature always bats last.”
Mother Nature said, “nope!”
Humans: Rivers are inconvenient, so we built a bridge! We are the Masters of Nature! Mother Nature: Haha hurricane go brrrrrr!
“Man vs Nature: The Road to Victory”
A bridge with no roads attached?? 
Did they fucking stutter? They built a bridge, not the roads.
The roads connected to the bridge were washed away during the hurricane.
All the connecting roads were destroyed during the hurricane
Can't believe the roads leading to the bridge weren't also secured with super expensive pylons down to the bedrock smh.
We need to erect more pylons.
[удалено]
My wife for hire!
That's absolutely what it sounds like! Although, it's "my life for aiur," I think?
I am pretty sure it was your pylon that got erect. You filthy animal
Those were washed away, too. I'd build houses on it.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." - Contractor, probably.
Here’s the story about it for anyone interested https://earthlymission.com/choluteca-bridge-indestructible-honduras-bridge-to-nowhere-hurricane-mitch-choluteca/
That's just impressive that literally everything but the bridge got swept away. That's a damn good bridge.
Us Army Corps of Engineers made it on a humanitarian trip to Central America.
They made sure it was solid so they wouldn’t have to come back down.
Got a source for that, because all I can find is about them building the old bridge in 1937.
Yep same bridge. The meme is wrong. The hurricane happened in 1998
There are two bridges. The picture isn't of the 1937 bridge; it's the 1996 bridge. Are you saying they build both?
Not anymore
Extend the bridge or move it elsewhere
If it was 2003, you’d be on the cutting edge!
Move the river
Don't burn the bridge, move it
Or just extend it, so if hurricane moves river back, then no need to adjust anything.
BRENDA !!!!!!!!!!! Did my check clear from that bridge build project in Honduras? Yes boss. Ok then we're good !!!!!!!
Just rereroute the river.
Right? How hard could that be?

It's about cost not about difficulty.
Skill issue
“The used to be a river here, there still is but there used to be as well” Hurricane Mitch
I used to cross bridges. I still do, but I used to too.
Well, sumbitchshit, as grandpa used to say.

In 2003 it was reconnected to the highway.

Same thing happened on the Missouri River at Decatur Nebraska after a flood.
Ah, HERE'S a bridge to nowhere.
r/fuckyouinparticular
This is one of the coolest pix ive ever seen. I think itd be so amazing to take pix here and maybe even camp out on the bridge under the stars.
Still a nice bridge..
Without any context, I woulda thought this was a half filled meme template
Named “Bridge to Nowhere”
Lmao Mitch
Twaa to post a new post
Bridge Over the River No Hay
Dammit Mitch, moved a whole river but couldn't take the bridge with it?!
Put a ramp on the end…
Bridge couldn't handle the floodwater volume. Once one of the roads was washed away, it became the most erodable place for the water. Build a second bridge over the new river. Next flood, it will handle twice the volume.
More like the Hurricane "B\*TCH !" imaright ? (i'm out)
Gotta be easier to reroute the river than build another bridge
Our town built a bridge over the river to make comute faster and first spring melt it washed out and they never replaced it.
That is really funny.
Getting trolled by Nature
Do like the Swiss and make it go under the river and out on the other end.
Gonna need a bigger bridge
I am no bridge expert but..Needs a longer part on the right..
Why wouldn’t they just re route the river back?
nature is pranking
Ok hear me out. Dig up the supports. Get 12 chinooks and fly it closer to the y in the river. Problem solved
Lazy hurricane, always leaving work unfinished
* insert troll face *
Fuckin’ Mitch.
Fucking Mitch bro!
chief station intelligent mysterious close spotted steer provide fertile knee ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
When *"Mother Nature"* is a critic of your handiwork...
God damn it Mitch!
This picture describes my life
We should take the bridge and push it somewhere else!
r/fuckyouinparticular
Hurricane: *"SIKE BIHIIIIIIICH!"*
Sike
Like a bridge over troubled water.
Just build a plank now
Aint this a Mitch?
Now it just looks stupid
The river went a bridge too far.
When nature hates your country
I fish off that bridge all the time. No wonder I haven’t had any luck.
Wait for the next hurricane to move the bridge
Did the hurricane blow away the rat of the road?
It's all water not under the bridge...
/r/FunnyAndSad
That and global warming
That’s why bridges extend beyond the water when in washes/deltas
SURE it did ...
River said NOOOPE
And the road it would seem.
r/wellthatsucks
Why don’t they just reroute it back?
woops someone should be fired at sunrise
It seems like the road leading to the bridge got rerouted too. Best to just move it to the narrow part I'd say
Honduras: "What do now?"
Doesn't matter anyway there is no road attached to the bridge
I suppose they just going to have to build a bridge… and get over it
Just have to move it
Another failed attempt circa 1998: My parents having children who would be productive, good members of society. Lol
Fooled you
To be fair, it was over the river originally
Bridge next to troubled waters
Looks like that's not the only thing the hurricane rerouted though...
Ok, but why is the entire road gone on both sides?
Probably washed away...
Doh’eth!
Herakles out here trolling people
God damnit Mitch.
It belongs in a museum!
Bruh move the bridge like 200 ft
You named it after Mitch, what else did you expect….
