Kennedy Bridge Instrumentation: A Pier Review

If you choose to read this whole story, without interruption, it will not take you 25 years to do so. You will also not need to read this story while you are sopping wet, covered in snow, unbearably hot, freezing cold, trapped underwater, perspiring profusely, or pelted by frozen spheres. You will still not need to read this story with mud oozing around you, wind piercing through you, machinery driving over you, lightning trying to strike you, stray critters nipping at you, insects crawling all over you, artists spraying paint on you, thieves trying to steal stuff from you, or pigeons dropping surprises on you. This story, however, is about that story. Specifically, it is about what it takes to read (or record) such a story; while enduring the most extreme of environments, without interruption, for 25 years. And why we would do so. But don’t worry, we will try to keep it brief; after all, this is a bridge version. So, fasten your fall protection, and enjoy the ride.
