How does a 5kip structural element fall from the sky.
Also, is the bridge experience local stress increases from fatigue, road realignment etc..
How about eliminating trucks on the bridge until Bridge completion?

Questioned about the repercussions, he noted that the bridges were not currently falling down.
Guess what? Twenty years later, they started falling.
A man who spends his career painting the same bridge over and over is likely to notice a crack before it gets a year old. It's cheap insurance.

Bit like what good financial management does for a country.
