The critical path is the fabrication of the beams. The bridge in Atlanta was pre-stressed concrete. This bridge is steel. Best bet would be to find a fabricator who’s already in the process of fabricating steel beams that meet the design criteria for this bridge and purchase them (would have to pay a premium to do so as you’re now screwing up someone else’s schedule). But that’s if this scenario even exists in the first place.

June 14, 20233 yr Initially, there were rumblings that there may be a temporary solution to re-connect 95 pending a complete repair. Haven't heard anything about that of late though. Since this happened in Philly, the thing going against a fast repair is that so much money will be thrown at this problem, that every special interest group will try to grab their slice of the pie. Can't do that once it's fixed. A lot of vested interests in delaying this re-opening as long as possible.
