WBRZ-TV reports Edwards announced the repairs are expected to be completed in January, saying at a news conference today that crews will be working 24/7 to finish the job as soon as possible. The announcement came moments after Edwards completed a tour of the damage at the bridge.

I don't know the correct terminology but the X braces under the bridge are visibly bent and damaged. The crane hit that and the barge hit the pier
