Date: 2020-05-09 10:41 pm (UTC)That bridge situation sounds untenable. Though the technologies for replacing and repairing bridges get better all the time. Maybe they will figure out some temporary fix?
Currently near my neighborhood there's a massive project where they are making a highway wider from six to eight lanes while also partly covering it, so it won't cut the neighborhood apart anymore (basically on a 1960s car enthusiasm high they destroyed the previously interconnected neighborhood). Anyway for that they had to tear down and replace a busy bridge because is wouldn't bear eight future lanes, but blocking that bridge and that highway with it wasn't an option, so they basically rebuilt it in stages bit by bit, switching prefabricated bridge parts out while most of the bridge lanes remained in use, except for two total closures on two weekends iirc, and some work during nights. It took several years, but now there's a new bridge. It was quite impressive. Though I guess it's harder if an old bridge is very damaged already.
