Bridge closure in rain: Why the MA-1 towards Andratx collapses — a reality check

Answer

Why was the bridge in Costa d'en Blanes being inspected in the first place?

The bridge was already under attention because material had fallen from it months earlier. That made inspection and repair necessary for safety reasons. Temporary traffic measures were then used to keep the motorway moving while the work was carried out.
