When I used to live in Garden City, Arlington Bridge was my commute to work. Everyday I see people walking or biking on that bridge, and when the bridge closes for repairs, it's near instant chaos for traffic.
Hell, a few years ago, my uncle had his van ran out of fuel on the bridge. It caused quite the delay for a good hour, and I had to rescue him with a jerry can This isn't during rush hour either, but on a clear summer evening.
A bridge with only two lanes of traffic, one each way, is something that is "fragile" where even a minor incident can trigger chaos on that bridge, but it also means that this crossing is vital for the area.
It does have its quirks, but it's also time for it to be replaced.
