When you cut the red tape, Things happen a lot faster. The contractor called a place in in in Arizona to start constructing the beams . They had a police escort from AZ and CA state troopers all the way to the site. They had welders standing by to start immediately 24/7.As soon as the welds were inspected the concrete was poured. As soon as itched,they inspected it. The contractor bid under a million with big bonuses for every day they beat the deadline. It came in for under half what it would have cost if it was dime the normal slow way.
The same contractor built the S-curve approach on the Treasure Island approach for the new Bay Bridgege in SF Bay. A several hundred foot section had to repalce temporarily where the road went from double decks to side by side. They built the section on 150-200 ft high stilts, close the road on Labor Day weekend, destroy that section and place the new section in . It was scheduled from Friday at 7- Tuesday morning. They moved the new piece over and in place. It opened up Labor Day morning a day ahead of schedule. Look both up on the internet.
