 Both this possibility and remarks that Lions Gate has to be replaced
 because of age make me wonder about the quality of the bridge.  So
 far as I know, nobody is thinking of replacing the Golden Gate
 Bridge, which is more heavily used and more exposed to salt and
 ocean weather, nor have I ever heard of it having a load stress
 problem.  Was Lions Gate built on the cheap, or with lower
 engineering standards?  Occasional resurfacing, maybe.  Regrets
 eventually at not building it wide enough, quite likely.  But I
 can't see why a decently built major bridge's basic structure
 shouldn't be good for a couple of centuries or so.
