So where are all the automatic bridge-building machines? Isn’t our bridge infrastructure famously poor?

  Right. The automation nuts are wildly disconnected with reality.

  Of course there's no single bridge building machine, but most of the work in bridge building is done by a collection of machines, usually with human specialists operating them. It's not the 1920's and most digging is done by an excavator instead of a human with a shovel, most cement is delivered by a truck humans mixing it onsite. As much as possible will also be prefab.
