I always look at bridges and wonder who inspects all of our infrastructure and how often. Looking at the underneath picture of that bridge, it appears absolutely no one is inspecting these things.

How bad are things getting when we can't even trust the bridges we walk and drive on?

I think there's a gap between an inspector turning in a report and the repairs being prioritized, funded, and executed. Out here in Oregon we had a tunnel collapse and kill the inspector (this was back in 1999). News reported that the tunnel was inspected twice the year before it collapsed.
