Reference to the bridge collapse is an outright lie. The bridge collapsed due to faulty construction (that took decades to become evident); not due to lack of maintenance.

There is no amount of maintenance that would have stopped the bridge from failing.

IIRC, there was also an issue of local overloading by a construction crew that had staged tons of material in a small area. Wiki has a pretty good write up. A few variables contributed to the incident, and some of the prior year inspections identified signs of structural overloading.
