Exactly. I know boh hit the industrial canal bridge a while back, but the boat started early and the bridge stopped/went down or something to cause the strike. Unfortunately the boat captain died so they only got 1 version.

I bet someone two weeks. It can’t be that hard to replace a beam and two cross ties

It takes longer than that just for them to fix a pothole. Remember how many months it took to fix the ramp that Boh Brothers damaged at I-10 / US-61 by Gramercy? That was a much smaller elevated span and over land instead of water. The Sunshine Bridge gonna be months if not longer

Correct and the Capt tried to pass through one of the side underpasses instead of the main underpass under the center of the bridge. Idiot Capt.
