A little worrisome...although not critical to the bridge. In the 2nd panel from the north abutment rust damage has caused the tension members between the floorbeams to partially collapse. While not posing a saftey concern by any means, it will allow a marginal amount more of sway in the associated floorbeams, and thus put additional wear on the system
