Historic Packard Plant Bridge Collapses
(OP)
Not really a "failure" or much of a disaster...other than representative of the long term demise of Detroit.

It's all okay as long as it's okay.

Half privately owned. Half owned by the city.
Not a "road" so probably not inspected as a bridge by anybody.
Black hole of neglect.

Wet snow is heavy. I had to shovel a bunch of it on Wednesday morning.

Yes.
No offense to whomever posted about Toronto, but that's almost 250 miles away. The weather is often quite different.
The mid-Michigan winter has been very mild this year until the last 3 weeks or so, when we've had a few alternating cycles of bitter cold/freezing rain followed by 2 or 3 days of temps in the high 30s/low 40s with clear skies and winter sun.

That seems to be a particular problem a lot of places are facing. Developers want ideal land, historic building in need off minor repairs sits on ideal land. developer promises restoration, but lets it be neglected or it 'mysteriously' burns down in the middle of the night. In Brisbane, Australia it has happened numerous times where a historic building has been the target of 'Arsonists' in reality it's probably some developers dodgy mate and the council doesn't do anything. There's no repercussion for allowing heritage listed building to be neglected and eventually destroyed by a 'mysterious' fire.

There were picture on the OP link from both sides showing the bridge with the Packard keystones missing, so yes they were already gone.
