My scenario. Letting my neighbor build a lower water bridge on the back side of my land so he and his neighbor won't kill eachother.

He purchased the materials he found through craigslist. Found out there is no engineers involved. He didn't pull permits, didn't like the engineers price. Total violation of agreement. Took it upon himself to make it. He put poles in the ground didn't concrete them. The bottom of the bridge is made of railroad iron, and the top is a a steel cattle guard, welded together.

Is this safe for someone to drive on with a car, truck delivery trucks, or truck and trailer filled with heavy wood logs?

Sorry it took me so long. It's been a rough day. They used cattle guard welded upside down and placed in the ground to secure this. No concrete was added. It is flexing when I stand on it. They used a meg weld with soft metal.

I have a question if you know. The road going to this shit bridge is a utility easement and the poles are centered on this dirt hilly road is that even legal?
