Maybe it was one of those awkward budgeting situations, like "we have $5 left this year, and $10 coming next year. New bridge costs $5 to replace, old bridge costs $7. We can replace new bridge now, or do nothing, but old bridge can't get fixed until more money comes in." Or maybe there was a legal fight over the bridge's status as a historical site, or something.
Nah, it was probably just a fuck up. If a doctor can cut off the wrong leg, an engineer can draw up plans for the wrong bridge.
