Note in the second street view image, the bottom set of braces between the pillars appears to be missing. I haven’t found a “before” picture of this side to confirm whether or not this is by design, or if they were removed/fell off.
Edit: Well, fuck, it appears that the rusted beam was indeed fixed by them just removing the bracing. Jesus fucking Christ. Failed state.
Made in America baby.

You: Build better bridges and maintain them properly by adding support as they age or rebuilding them if necessary
:galaxy-brain: :Fixing a deficient bridge by removing part of it's support structure and not replacing it
The bracing can’t be in a dangerous, rusted out state if it’s not there :very-smart:
You think the bridge is structurally deficient, yet it has no structure :very-intelligent:
