What you don't realize is that many bridges carrying interstate traffic
were never engineered for that weight and frequency of traffic loads.
That is but one problem.

Why not? They were originally designed for trucks carrying tanks.

Now where on earth do you get THAT idea from???

The original purpose of the interstate highway system and the original
design guidelines

In many cities, the interstate highways are being added and have been
added. The original guidelines no longer stand, and the fact is that
city bridges have been re-purposed to use for interstate traffic that
they were never intended nor designed to hold.
