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. Don't you think this project will be expedited?

This isn’t a finance issue then, it’s a permitting problem, which I wholeheartedly agree with you with.
T master Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 3 hours ago, Westside said: I was just playing there game. I do think with all the money spent on other countries infrastructure and so little money spent on ours. That is bidens fault. That is absolutely true. Got you . But every president should take some of the monies that they so freely spend giving our tax money to other countries & it should be spent here specifically on our infrastructure . They say that the Bills stadium being built in 1973 was old some of these bridges like the GW in NYC is a money pit and probably most of those in NYC are, they have recently replaced the Tapenzie bridge north of the city that goes across the hudson river and it didn't take as long as one would think . They left the old bridge up while building the new one & once finished tore down the old one . Sure these types of things take a bunch of money & some time to do but i bet those pallets of money that Barack gave to Iran would have rebuilt every bridge in NYC & they would have had them done by now but priorities today are not the US or it's people for our gov't it's foreign countries & immigrants first . I watched a video yesterday that when asked if putting America first was a bad thing most everyone that answered said yes i just don't get it ... 1
Irv Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 They should arrest the illegal driving the boat. Demented Biden continues to screw this up. What an idiot. What a mess.
Irv Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 FBI will charge Trump with the shipwreck. What a mess.

No. The majority of the bridge has been gone for well over a year. Shipping was reopened within weeks. The remaining part of the bridge to come down is on either side of the Patapsco River. 15 months to BEGIN the removal of the rest of the bridge is nothing but government inertia at work. 1 1

Are the shipping vessels just supposed to go around the salvage crew?

Liberal logic says if 15 months was really only 3 months, they would have been on the road to recovery for nearly a year. Imagine that, a year ahead of schedule! 1

I think Roundy thinks you would first tear down the existing, then rebuild with American steel, then tear down the American steel...to rebuild it more quickly with foreign steel. Iron sharpens iron.

So if you decide to tear down one of your houses to build anew, you cannot begin the demo of the current house in a calendar efficient manner? Why the hell not? You’ve got another house you can live in. Because Wes Moore is a democrat you felt the need to ride to his aid with this gem: It’s not as easy as it sounds. You have to completely reroute shipping and arrange the proper equipment. Simply changing the shipping routes would take months in advance to do. No need to pretend you have knowledge of the situation when in reality you don’t know sh*t. Shipping routes into the Port of Baltimore…sigh. Just let it go. 1 1
