> But the barricades had been removed after being vandalized

... is this saying that, like, someone graffiti'd the concrete barriers in front of a collapsed bridge, and they took the barriers away leaving the collapsed bridge accessible?

I'm trying to figure out how to parse this in a way that makes sense to do.

Indeed. Slapping a coat of beige paint over the graffiti has got to be easier than moving them.

The older article, from 2022, says:

> Even barricades that had previously warned drivers not to cross the bridge had been washed away, WCNC reported.
