I like the small bridge.. It bottlenecks traffic and keeps an extra million people off our already delapitated city streets. We cannot fix the traffic problem as it is... Lets not add to the disaster already on hand... But I agree.. Paint the darn thing and rebuild it... There is way too much propeganda in the world with the Cape Fear Bridge to do away with it.. it IS our skyline.. But fix it and paint it.. It looks horrible.
