I don't see the value in preserving obsolete infrastructure for historical purposes. Photograph it, document it, open a museum to commemorate it if you want, but blow it up and build a modern bridge that doesn't have all these problems and benefits from an additional 100+ years of progress in engineering and materials science.


Nor do I, but we are in the minority in anglophone civilizations (at least, perhaps others as well). And that's where the coordination cost comes in.


I see the value in preserving it as a museum if it's also replaced elsewhere with modern infrastructure.
