Optimism!

However misguided.

The accident turned attention back to the age of the nation’s transportation system. The 607,380 bridges in the U.S. are 42 years old on average, and 1-in-9 are rated “structurally deficient,” according to the American Society of Civil Engineers, which advocates more spending on such structures.

That "attention" will last about 5 minutes.

Repair and/or replace the damn bridges.
