Too politically and fiscally prohibitive to attack this one right now. Who knows when it will be addressed, but tying the bridge funding to roadway re-alignment meant the bridge replacement (which is needed) likely would be debated for years to come, and wouldn't happen when needed.

We'll come back to it in the future, but it is better to be divided up from actual bridge construction for now.
