I saw a video of the bridge collapse, initially fascinated at the structural side of the collapse. And then reading about the possible economic impact, still shaking my head.
Here in the Bay Area when they replaced a portion of the Bay Bridge (non suspension portion), they built a new bridge alongside and this took several years. Same for the Benicia-Martinez bridge, parallel construction.
I cannot even fathom the cost of reconstruction.
