Don't know anything except the article about this, but in general this sounds like theater. Having a for profit corporation in charge of a public bridge and no sufficiently regulated is simple the fault of the government, and of the ideology behind it.
If you breed dangerous predators and then let them loose, shooting them after they kill someone is a pointless victory.
PS: So this is also a failing of the press and news media for not reporting on this very obvious problem of privatization.
