"You do know that the official determination of the cause of the bridge collapse was a design flaw and not a lack of maintenance, RIGHT?" Sigh. Look, it might have not been the case there. But, there are plenty bridges and roads that are suffering due to lack of maintenance.

You do know that the official determination of the cause of the bridge collapse was a design flaw and not a lack of maintenance The critical point is that they knew the bridge had to be replaced. The problem was they would not have the money until after 2016 or something like that. They thought their maintenance would keep the bridge sound until 2020. They were wrong. Now how many other interstate bridges build at the same time have the same design flaws. The numbers are significant.
