Yep, I'm only matching the facts and data that you provide. (read: zero)

Supe, on your "expert engineers" Opinions. . . they dont' happen to work for the State (or POS, city whatever) ?

As what happened with the viaduct, is happening to the 520 bridge. The politicians latch on to DOOM of a State engineers Opinion, and spin it for what it's worth.

Of COURSE the bridges have a finite life. But this SOP (standard operating proceedure) of "EMERGENCY! WE TAX . . .OR BRIDGE (de jour) IS ABOUT TO COLLAPS" ...

Don't you find it curious that now that the viaduct Big Dig is off the table, politicians have found a new poster-child crumbling (if we get hit with just the right (direction and mag) huge earthquake which surpasses the earthquake design loads) Bridge?
