The jobs are things that needed doing, yes. Doing them in a dangerous, cavalier way? Not really. A bridge isn't really improved in any way if 20 people die falling from it during construction. And yeah, maybe that kind of thing made the bridge noticeably cheaper, but was it cheaper really when you account for the effects those deaths had? We pay less for the bridge, then pay more for funerals, compensations, negative effects that workers dying had... it's just nowhere in the bill for the bridge.
