This is gonna happen on a larger scale with the bay bridge in SF. CAL TRANS went cheap and used chinese steel. They weren’t even done with the bridge when they were finding rust. The bridge will have nowhere near the lifespan it is suppose to have.

They also had a problem with the large bolts that hold the supports together. It turns out that even though the bolts were made in the USA, they were made from galvanized steel, which doesn’t play well with salt air. I don’t know how that one was resolved; hopefully, they replaced them with something more durable.
