Somebody asked Sal Mercogliano about that. Cost is why ships don’t want to do it but after this calamity Baltimore may require it.

Of course it may also depend on what kind of bridge they build as a replacement. I suppose a suspension bridge wouldn’t be subject to the same kind of failure if that’s an option.
