Did you read the article? A pier, (a concrete support piling) settled on the bottom of a river. The piling and that section of bridge will be replaced. I would think if the bridge were crumbling the entire thing would be rebuilt.

Reminds me of when Riot tried to make the same point regarding a crumbling bridge in I think Louisville that was hit by a barge.
