I would suppose that whatever work is being done was planned and scheduled a long time ago, which is typical of capital projects, and could not practically take the possibility of a particular major sporting event into consideration.

There are probably contracts, allocations of resources and long-term plans that are bult around the assumption of this work being done. What's more, as winter is approaching, suspending or cancelling the work could potentially delay it until next spring, which might disrupt other planned work premised upon the work being at least partially completed and the resources used in it available for other planned work. Not undertaking the work now could cause cascading problems some ways into the future.

Stop your complaining and leave earlier for Christ sake. It’s driving in the city

There was nothing wrong with the bridge. More “work” needed resulting in a net zero

Leaving earlier would have absolutely nothing to do with solving this

So, may I assume that you are martiny236, P.E.?

I’m still shocked you typed up 4 paragraphs about the Ben Franklin bridge my guy

Well, for one thing, it was two paragraphs.

Are you a big bridge guy

You get real mad when people talk badly about bridges huh

Only his friends call him Ben Frank. He's Doctor Franklin to you!

Like yo I’m honestly sorry for having the AUDACITY to question unnecessary work on the Ben Franklin. HOW FUCKING DARE I QUESTION THE BEN FRANK

Bridge maintenance is rarely unnecessary, it’s expensive but also vital to not having the bridge like collapse while people drive on it
