Not yet anyway. Almost a miracle that they found the problem before it did fall down. Repairs to I-40 bridge in Memphis could take months
The six-lane bridge into Memphis was shut down Tuesday afternoon after inspectors found a “significant fracture” in one of two 900-foot horizontal steel beams that are crucial for the bridge’s integrity, said Lorie Tudor, director of the Arkansas Department of Transportation.

Infrastructure…
This is not a minor problem. Not only is there a crack, but the bridge seems to have begun to deform. Which is a problem unto itself.
If you live in Memphis, or know a truck driver who regularly drives over that bridge, do you want the math programs to assume "there is no correct answer." Just take a guess as to whether or not the bridge will fall down. Diversity is more important. At least according to the left. Personally I want engineers to get things right.
On a related note, river traffic has resumed. Mississippi River traffic resumes after I-40 bridge closure for fractured beam, which was a bigger problem than the bridge closure. (There are alternate routes for cars and trucks.)
