  • rebuilding it will actually not be expensive because (some insane shit nobody has ever done before). Elon Musk got in on this one!

  Let me guess, they’re going to make a tunnel instead. But instead of underground they’re going to but it above ground, suspended over the water supported by pillars.

    Oh, you bright and wonderful soul, untarnished by the knowledge of the depths of Musk’s stupidity, I envy you. I envy you and will destroy your blissful ignorance: he suggested reusing the collapsed truss steel.

    You know, steel! The material that deals fantastically with being bent and compressed and doesn’t lose any strength at all from it! 😬

      FFS that’s dumb, that steel can’t be reused without being reforged (or whatever the term is)

      That broken bridge needs removed (hopefully recycled) and then a new one built in it’s place

      Hopefully it goes faster than the project to replace a bridge near me. It was built before WWI and it’s still there, the talks have been going on for decades.

        Sounds like a bridge near me.

        And let me guess; hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on multiple studies figuring out whether or not the bridge should be replaced?

    That just might be crazy enough to work, perhaps the tunnel can be made of scaffolding, so people can get some of that sweet sunlight while they go through it?
