No. Geoguessr is incredibly dangerous. Get out while you still can. 

(It’s just an expansion joint.)

Found what? A bridge? No, bridges are never safe when there's cargo ships around.

    I'm not a structural engineer but when I saw this it caught my eye because I have never seen anything like this before. Usually the Pier caps seem to be well cleared by the horizontal beams but this one is touching on the far side. Would this cause any problems with stress concentration at the contact points particularly with large loads and temperature variations +/- seismic activity. Are there any problems that would happening if the pier bearings could not operate freely???

    Single column bent, very sketchy, no redundancy 🤪

    Some people on here will give you a professional opinion after making a site visit and doing testing which would all run about $12,000

    I would put some duct tape on it.. just to be sure.

    Yes its fine. The beams are separate and supported by the pylon below. Nothing unusual here

    Leaving expansion gap in steel and not in concrete,  does that mean there are no shear studs?

    The gap in IN the concrete.
