The successor, for breakthrough science anyway, appears to be the Chinese FAST radio telescope.
The next American successor, in the design stage, is the Next-Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA).

Um. Wow.
It was to be expected. Science is developing, technologies are generally running ahead by leaps and bounds. So this is to be expected, although still a bit boggling. After all, this is such a genius, such a power of human thought makes it possible to create such incredible constructions and apparatus.
