How is this the fault of engineers? If you give me a project with constraints that I can only satisfy if I design a bridge with a ninety degree turn, I'll tell you so. But if you insist that you want it like that anyway, I'll design it (because you pay me) and I won't consider myself responsible for the mess you'll be in if you build it.
Bureaucracy at its finest. They even state in the article that the engineers proposed different designs but they were vetoed. The project managers and government officials are just as responsible for this.
