Just reading the article, the Key bridge was graded in Fair condition.
There is no claim the bridge condition contributed to it collapsing when hit by a large cargo vessel.
The ASCE report referenced (and linked to) in the article is 3 years old https://infrastructurereportcard.org/cat-item/bridges-infrastructure/ https://infrastructurereportcard.org/cat-item/bridges-infras... (2021 Report Card for America's Infrastructure). Their data comes from the US Department of Transportation.
So there is no self-interest here, really.
