From the barge strike. That's gonna take a minute to fix. This is a screen grab from WXweatherchasers drone footage.

Some duct tape and elbow grease and it’ll be good to go baw.

Yeah that bridge will be closed for a while.

This is why I-20 is superior to I-10

Looks better than the I-10 bridge in Lake Charles

Wow. That not good.

Rub some dirt on it.

I'd risk my life driving across that bridge rather than drive through Bastrop.

Maybe the cartels will donate funds to repair it since that's a major drug route.

Someone needs to be shaking that structural engineer's hand if he's still alive. Hit by a barge, pilaster gone, and still standing.
It's going to take a while to fix that. I would assume they would build something out of steel first, and maybe get the bridge open while they worked on a permanent solution. Either way, they still are going to need time to let concrete cure before they put loads on it, even high early strength concrete.

TxDOT will have to build a caisson around it to install new pilings.In the meantime spray some Flex Seal.

That's the footage I got the screen grab from. Thanks for posting it

Saw through the deck and drive steel piles to make a couple of temporary cripple bents.
In Louisiana the remediation study would not yet be out for bids.

Has the limitation action been filed yet?

Just look at it as a trip to see grandma/ possible involuntary tubing trip.

We could have that fixed in only 26 months.

They should have extra piles and spans stockpiled. The Causeway has them along with the spreader bars.

That bridge just fully opened a few months ago, after being damaged last year by a loose barge. Gonna be a mess in that area for a long time
