I could never understand what this country has against pre-stressed concerete, the Dutch can put up bridges in a third of the time it takes here. They don't need painting every four or five years. They don't suffer the potential for hidden damage when the concrete decks get poured in bad weather. The don't even need to go to The Netherlands for advice, most bridges in Quebec have been built with pre-stressed concrete since the 60s.
