Yes but it was an emergency. With London Bridge it was discovered by surveyors that it required urgent maintenance before it would start becoming damp and the bearings became too damaged. Damp bridges are not happy bridges!
Just like bicycles, preventative maintenance ahead of time is much more time and cost effective than doing the engineering equivalent of a root canal after the damage has become catastrophic.
