Global Warming?

On the path to the shops, I cross a bridge that spans our local creek. Lots of workers working, so I ask the traffic warden, "what you doing?" and I thought I heard him reply, "Widening the expansion joints"

Mmmm, methinks, a change in design standards, an original design error, or preparing for global warming? Al least the pollies can say "We are fixing global warning!"

Nice to have a sit down job, but on reflection, maybe they were just cleaning it out.
