Doesn't mean much but I've crossed that bridge, round trip, 4 or 5 times. Didn't take any notice of it at the time of course, just another of many bridges. I heard on the news that it's functionally obsolete, in large part because it's too narrow for modern standards. I forget the numbers but they went on to say that Washington has a higher percentage of narrow bridges than most states.

Apparently the driver was not notified of the normal practice of oversized loads staying in the center lanes. Word I heard was the bridge likely would have stood for some time if not for the collision, IOW, not a bridge near death.
