I've seen them demolish many listed building over the years, its all possible.
Although its quite historically important, and its likely to meet serious resistance, it could go.
Deapite the problem being the structure, I never understood why the road surface deteriorated so quick after frequent resurfacing. Always wondered why?

Why? All that's missing is funding to repair it. Admittedly, that will be a major job, but it's still by far the best option. The threat hanging over all this is that they might demolish the bridge and build a modern, higher-capacity one, or a pastiche bridge, in its place. Sure, it's Grade II* listed, but that can theoretically be overcome. So far, I've seen no suggestion that it's not repairable, though, and I expect that this will eventually happen. It could be some time.
