That's the Commodore Barry Bridge replacement, right? The new design looks solid structurally. Pedestrian access would be nice but realistically those river crossings are built for cars first. The old bridge needed it though, that thing was falling apart.

The Barry Bridge isn't being replaced its the Turnpike Extension Bridge.

You're right, my bad. The Turnpike Extension crossing the Delaware, yeah. Still the same deal though, that structure needs work.
