The Ship company and its insurance should pay for the bridge in full. Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for it twice.
-
The supply chain can be restored as soon as the pathway is cleared. The construction of new bridge should not affect the supply chain.
-
It's not the end of the world. Rebuild a better one. Technology is better now. Wish Baltimore well.
-
Prediction: Every business -- whether affected by this or not -- will jack up prices and blame it on "supply disruptions".
-
'2 to 3 years' - 'Wow, that's super fast!'.... I'm guessing the people-industries that used that bridge would disagree about that being 'super fast'.
-
@ 1:56 Notice the excellent pier protection around the main piers of the Sunshine Skyway bridge.
-
“You can build a thousand bridges, but if one of them falls down, that’s all they remember you for !” old engineering saying!
-
We built a new 2.1 mile cable stay bridge in Montreal. It was finished in 2019, took 4 years and cost $400 million.
-
I am a Bridge Builder/ Engineer and from what I have seen there is no solid abutment and reinforced wall structure which might have saved the collapse of the bridge The thin pillar arrangement offers little resistance against lateral movement causing the collapse
-
Building a new bridge is not as important as getting the old collapsed one removed quickly so the port can reopen. Vehicular traffic has alternative routes. The ships don't!
-
I agree. A cable stay with pier protection is a good replacement.
-
Don't be surprised when the bridge that is rebuilt is no longer named the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
-
Nobody passed legislation to help the people affected by chemicals from train derailment in Ohio Fed ignored. If dont help one dont help other.
-
my guess is at least 5 years
-
.. it was only servicing 35,000 vehicles a day so a low priority to replace IMO ...!
-
The Ambassador Bridge, a suspension bridge which spans the Detroit River and connects Michigan to Canada, was constructed in 2 years, from 1927 through 1929. The Gordie Howe Bridge, a cable stay bridge, which also spans the Detroit River, is under construction and near completion.
-
Don't get too excited, it just took 2 years to repaint the Sky Way cables here in Tampa.
-
That is very possible it can be done in 2 years with a new bridge and it being designed like the one in Tampa. Although the bridge collapse in Minneapolis was under different circumstances, that took them 2 years to replace the one they have now so it is possible that it could be done in that amount of time.
-
NO ONE EVER USED THE WORDS.....SAFETY....THAT'S THE KEY FOR THE "KEY" BRIDGE!
-
A dollar to a donut says the pliers I ordered on Amazon are in one of those shipping containers!! Great!
