Probably structural damage caused by hurricane's/tropical storms with an underbudget for maintenance. Will it be replaced? That's the billion dollar question.

It was damaged over time by a number of hurricanes leading to the failure of support cables. It's not going to be replaced.

A couple of suspension cables broke. They knew about this but it collapsed before they could do anything. There are vids on the 'net.
