What factors contributed to the rapid deterioration of the Westendbrücke and Ringbahnbrücke?

The demolition, which began Saturday, is part of a larger project to replace both the Westendbrücke and the nearby Ringbahnbrücke, closed in mid-March due to safety concerns. The increased traffic volume—over 90,000 vehicles daily on the Westendbrücke alone, compared to the initial projection of 20,000 vehicles for the entire highway triangle—is cited as a reason for their deteriorated condition.
