It's comical to see Pete Buttigieg out there making bold proclamations about replacing this bridge when that same mouth talks about reducing greenhouses gasses every other day.

Here is a good history of this bridge:

This website has been up since about 1998.

you go on playa, but i’m not driving through those tunnels squeezed with oversized or hazardous materials vehicles.
