It’ll take at least five years to concoct the perfect woke, anti-racist bridge name and get all the race hustlers and virulent leftists to agree to it.
America has the most expensive and bloated government money can buy
Regulations & ecological impact studies.
Now I'll go see if I am even close. 🤣
Because...Democrats.
Imagine what it would take to put a man on the moon now. I don’t think that we could do it within 20 years.
I miss the days when American had a “Get it done” attitude.
For example, by 1943 it only took on average 39 days to build a Liberty Ship. Now it would take 39 weeks just to decide if the word “liberty” is racist or not.
Empire State Bldg - 1 year, 45 days
Hoover Dam - 5 years
Golden Gate- 4 years, 4 1/2 months
Between federal meddling and incompetance, and local graft and incompetance, who can predict in Baltimore.
if the design was complete and ready for bid, construction would take 3 to 4 years. designing a new bridge will take 2 years.
a new bridge is 6 to 7 years away....

My great grandfather and my grandfather different sides of the family - one helped put the gargoyles on the Chrysler building the other created and placed the ornamental platering in radio city music hall
We had a bricklaying company in the family like many Irish defiant NINAs did. They had a contract to help build the Empiere State building
It was built in under a year. It’s not a crappy structure like you see now. It has marble and good Otis elevators.
They built it Drung the Great Depression. Partly to encourage Americans and the western world
That was before the communists took over our country
The ramps and approaches are already there. That’s the hard work.
All they need to do is put in a new span with some pier protections.
Clean up the mess and wait for Trump.
Problem solved.
But maybe that’s the problem, hmmm...
To be fair, technology was far more advanced in 1863.
