The Manhattan Bridge has had repair upon repair since 1983. What if one day in the next 20 years it's deemed unsafe for the trains.

It might have been better to replace it with tunnels back in the 1980s. But we know that would have been a political impossibility because of all the properties in Brooklyn and Manhattan that would have to have been taken over for such a huge project. Years of court battles, etc. Same for the Williamsbugh Bridge replacement idea that went nowhere in the mid 1980s.
