Have we lost the technical ability to build bridges that last?. The answer to the problem is that in the interest of cutting costs is that the people in charge of these bridges have deferred maintenance and repair and which in the long run leads to failure or major repairs. Much of our problems these days of equipment etc failures can be attributed to deferred maintence and repair policy.
