They were doing road resurfacing and repairing/replacing guard rails on the bridge.
As for the passing inspections, that's a technicality. It was deemed in need of repair, but given an ok to continue use. There was a comment that collapse was possible if the roadbed was to come apart, but was unlikely to happen in the near future. That was just a couple years ago, from what the interviews I've seen said. I think the construction workers just may have reached that spot.
