Why do you think that bridge in Lake Charles will go?

I drive over a bridge daily over a little creek, Jones Creek, and the levels of the water rise dramatically with rain, all the way to the roadway. It scares me,,I just don’t think that bridge can withstand that kind of water coming up so much. Usually the water line is a good 20 feet below the road.

But what is it about that bridge? I drive over it from time to time.

Here is the next Interstate bridge that will probably fall into the water. 
The old I-10 bridge in Lake Charles, LA

This bridge is old, built in the 50s, is steep, shakes, they cannot
keep light bulbs burning because the vibration  burns out the bulbs,
scary to cross, is rusted, has way more traffic than it was designed
for, and was weaken by hurricane Rita.
