Leaving intent and marketing to fall where it may, the treble 
end of the bridge is indeed more nearly centered on the 
rib(s). The thing actually seems to have been well thought out 
and intentioned, and ultimately a victim of long term 
structural reality, as can happen when you stray from the path 
of mainstream conventionality.
