Why thousands of drivers keep crossing a bridge many say should be off-limits

Thousands of drivers in Greece continue to cross the Palaiopyrgos Bridge despite the presence of major structural damage. This deterioration was caused by Storm Daniel, leading many to argue that the bridge should be completely off-limits to traffic. Despite these safety concerns and the extent of the storm-induced damage, motorists persist in using the crossing, disregarding the risks associated with the compromised integrity of the infrastructure in the affected region of Greece.
