Amazed how many factories are left with no inspection of any sort, the same for infrastructure builds, that are left for decades, without inspection!!

Was the bridge award revoked after the failure? Granted, the design wasn't the problem. It was a failure to inspect and do maintenance. A bit of scaling to remove rust and paint. It's 2022, I'm amazed that the people in the crash aren't suing the city/state for incompetence. How old was the bridge? 1972 built, crash 2022 in litigious USA (with an ambulance chaser under every bridge), ~ 50 years. What was the design life for the bridge? With proper maintenance it should have lasted longer. Why wasn't the "decades old" problem identified during an earlier examination? Those huge "cancer" holes would have been obvious long before the failure! Because none were done, right?
