I was being facetious.

However, if you want ride over steel plates with a gap, then using a tire of sufficient width that won't cause you to fall in is advisable. If you need 100mm tires to safely navigate the terrain, then by all means get them.

I ride over all sorts of crap out there including railroad tracks, potholes, grates and gaps in bridges, all of which can cause a crash if you are not attentive. Granted, the construction folks probably could have done a better job aligning the plates, but it's not like you would just ride over a construction site without using due caution.
