By federal law, all bridges have to be inspected at least every two years. For a bridge the size and condition of the old Point Marion Bridge, I suspect PennDOT inspected it a lot more frequently than that.
Typical PennDOT to waste money. Why build a two lane bridge? Build a similarly sized bridge and paint the old one, two one-way bridges! Or at least keep the old one for pedestrians or something, cheaper than tearing it down!
The cost of building a new two-lane bridge isn't all that different than the cost of a new one-lane bridge. Keeping two bridges in service would cost a lot more long-term in maintenance, plus you'd still have to sink money into the old bridge to rehab it.
Generally speaking, closed bridges aren't allowed to stay on navigable waterways because they pose a hazard to navigation. You'd still have the liability and maintenance costs associated with keeping old bridge around if you didn't remove it.
Like if you think the guy sounds like Kermit the Frog.
