WAFB reported on the 5:00 news this evening that the barge company has filed a motion to limit their liability to 1.5 million
“The barge company” didn’t do anything wrong. It was the boat company pushing the barge that’s at fault. Nothing to do with the barge company.

I’d imagine they’ll need to build a cripple structure to accept the loads before disassembling the damaged pieces.
This will take time & money.

knowing construction and bridges, working around the clock, this should not take until January to fix.
I hope you’re right, Black Friday and holiday shopping is is going to be hell for small mom and pop stores. People will just order online to avoid the traffic.

The lower chords on these trusses are critical and have no backup structural members.

Yes, regardless, this is still going to hurt small local businesses. Some people rely on the holiday sales to stay open.

If this happened to the "new" bridge, the economic effect on the US would be catastrophic with the commerce that travels I-10.
All the political powers to be are way to frickin stupid to realize this
Build the loop............ yea its too late....

I have two separate friends that are attorneys already post on social media they are taking people who "have been harmed by the closing of the bridge"
If you ever need an attorney don’t use these friends.

If the member is in tension it can still be performing enough to hold. I'd assume if it was in compression it would have fully buckled.
