Simply build an additional sacrificial bridge on either side of the real bridge.

i dont think its any of governments business to be building bridges, i think anyone who wants to get from one side of the bay to the other should take the responsibility to build their own individual bridge and handle its upkeep. maybe a bridge could be shared between family members but thats about it. or perhaps companies like mcdonalds and starbucks on opposing banks could build bridges that their customers are allowed to use if they show a proof of purchase. by 2030 we could be arguing over whether to take the dunkin donuts bridge or the pizza hut bridge because dunkin donuts is notoriously behind on their upkeep and the bridge is unsafe but it still comes with a free box of munchkins when you get to the other side

It won't take 10 years. It'll be rebuilt in 18 to 36 months.

I'm predicting there will be something visible to news cameras by late October. Pushing the repair through as fast as is safe would be a huge campaign issue for Biden. Alternatively, the House GOP blocks any federal funding and he campaigns on that.

Either someone skims tens of millions off this project or millions gets spent in oversight man-hours to make sure they don't. Just gotta find that sweet spot where you spend enough to stop enough of the stealing to make it a net gain.

Whatever type of bridge they go with, the big structural elements aren't just sitting on a shelf somewhere. 3 years is plausible, but I'd still bet the over.

Whatever type of bridge they go with, the big structural elements aren't just sitting on a shelf somewhere. My money would be on 3-5 but I think with all of the public attention, it's gonna be a priority for the government to make sure bidding is quick, design has an aggressive timeline, etc, so might be closer to 3 than 5

this is an immensely ignorant question, but does the type of bridge affect the time it would take to rebuild? could they build a suspension bridge so this doesn't happen again without construction taking more time than replacing the truss bridge?

Replace the bridge with so many ferries that cars can just drive across, and when it's a ship's turn to go through you can just have the ferries in the way put up their gates and move aside

the thing the bridge is costing rich people (and everyone else ofc) money every second it's not completed so there is more of an impetus to get it done than the wtc which was just 'yea we could build another thing here i guess'

Vampire Panties posted:this is an immensely ignorant question, but does the type of bridge affect the time it would take to rebuild? Dunno, but probably? Cable-stayed bridges have been pretty overwhelmingly popular in the last few decades. They're faster and cheaper to build. So my bet is the new bridge will be one of those. Cantilever-truss type bridges like the Key Bridge were big in the 50s-70s, probably because steel was cheaper then. (Possibly they were also better for military use? Tons of them were made during the Interstate Act era, when a requirement was "a platoon of tanks rolls across your bridge." Cantilever bridges are more rigid than suspension bridges.) e: A Wizard of Goatse posted:yeah the WTC holdup was as much as anything else just waiting for things to blow over and it to become politically viable to build something profitable in the most expensive part of Manhattan again instead of some big creepy war church also a giant stupid legal fight over who got the insurance money, the port authority or the developer who had the overall lease
