Sin of omission

TOLLROADSNews, which also got props from Patrick at Transport Blog, has an article about the new span over the Carquinez Strait in northern California. They call it "the new span dubbed Carquinez III," which, emphatically, it is not called. It's the Alfred Zampa bridge, named after a worker who helped build the Golden Gate Bridge and one of the other spans across the strait. One of the things that makes this bridge unique is that it's perhaps the only major bridge in the world named after someone who physically built bridges.


Let's hope this was just an error and that TOLLROADSNews' "free market bent" doesn't fullfill liberals' worst fears about the right -- that conservatives see labor and laborers as simply another input to be squeezed for maximum results at minimum cost.
