I decided. Avoiding this bridge at all costs. I highly doubt the idiot drivers here will obey the traffic diversion. Maybe they will follow if the city puts up spikes, lol.

Vehicles getting larger. EVs are heavier than their ICE equivalents. The failure of this bridge is inevitable.

The timeline for starting new construction is 2025. The bridge must be in really bad shape for them to limit traffic 1.5 years out.
