From a NYT story on the Brooklyn Bridge a few days ago.
I can remember when the Williamsburg Bridge was closed down because it was about to fall into the East River, due to decades of lack of maintenance and inspections.
Aecom recommended an inspection of the bridge’s cables before considering any deck expansion, according to the report. The cables, which are original, had already been scheduled for a full inspection in 2019, the first since the 1980s.
