This IMO, is the only logical means of attempting to fix the problem - taking finances into consideration.

there is already a coating to prevent this, but it didnt work.

Totally agree, the problem is that we are not talking about just 2 cables spaning the length of the bridge like the alex fraser or lions gate, we are talking about all xx amount of cables holding up the bridge span across the roadways, so all of them will need the EHT. It will cost millions to put up and maintain.
