> Inspectors cut openings into the walls of the cantilever in 2016, finding that water and road salt had penetrated the structure at the joints. This caused the steel rebars in the concrete to corrode and expand, forcing chunks of concrete to fall off. Without major structural intervention, this degradation progressively weakens the triple cantilever’s strength.

Very sadly, I'd assume the "can't agree" deadlock will persist until there's a major collapse, à la Champlain Towers South. At which point the spectacle of charred bodies amid smoking rubble will give the pro-fixit coalition the cards they need to "win".
