Reply to comment by johnmcboston in $122M to build a new bridge for 160 Dorchester Yacht Club members!?! by LivingMemento

Yup. It’s against federal law to block navigable waters with low bridges. Don’t blame the yachters.

This is far from the most egregious example of this effect. They’ve probably spent billions of dollars keeping the upper Hackensack river in NJ navigable, and almost nobody uses it anymore.

They're finally working on the Saugus River Bridge. That drawbridge just enables this tiny little lagoon to access the ocean. Shit is fucking stupid.
