Lets assume that every major bridge structure has a working life of 50 years if built before 2000 and 70 years after 2000. . Unfortunately the average lawyer and politician are not operations educated and have little maintenance / building experience. Most if not all lawyers are reactive, so the fix stuff after breaking, seldom proactively. We just witnessed this fact first hand, given the type of bridge and the age of the bridge.

lets hope more bridges get replaced.
