Given how much money currently isn't flowing into that port, I'd be surprised if it takes more than a week to at least get a lane open. There are a **** ton of companies that will lose a **** ton of money with all those ships sitting idle.

Then you have to open or smash the window...swim on out. then it's get to shore or land and take them cloths off. Next it's a constant rub down and movement. Don't stay still.

It's not hat simple but there will be some kind of round the clock work. I'd say at least a month. They should be planning right now and getting equipment in place.

good reason why Norfolk has the bridge-tunnels. Suspect Norfolk will be taking on a lot of the Eastern seaboard commerce from Baltimore for a while.

Never been on that bridge. But I spent a great deal of time recently in the southeast and have traveled over the Talmadge bridge that spans the Savannah River in Savannah and the Cooper River bridge in Charleston.

Amazing seeing the size of those ships navigating a channel so narrow and passing side by side with another of the same breadth.

There is a proposal to raise the Talmadge bridge another 20 feet to nearly 200 feet, so that the largest container ships can pass underneath. They’ll replace the cables and and raise the bridge that way.

I’ve taken a tour on a ship through the Savannah River and you can see the graffiti on the underside of the bridge where merchant marine folks had climbed to the top of the container as they passed the bridge and wrote messages underneath.

it took 13 months to rebuild I35 in MPLS. Just for comparison.

In a way, building the bridge is rather academic. It's doing that while maintaining some level of port operations that's the harder part.

I have to imagine that the design process will slow things down, too. I'm sure there will be endless debates about how to make it so strong that it can withstand a ship impact in the future.

That ship is bigger than an aircraft carrier with who knows the weight of the cargo. It was at 8 knots a Navy guy said it takes 5 miles to stop a carrier at the speed.

Does there have to be a new bridge? How about going with a fun and retro ferry system?

The bridge won't be rebuilt for at least a year mark my words.
