Maybe they should check out how the bridge to Key West did for the Florida East Coast Railroad.

Parts of Route 1 (the Overseas Highway) to Key West are built on the old FEC’s Overseas Railroad right of way. If the FEC wasn’t already bankrupt (not hard to guess that FDR’s policies were one reason), it could have rebuilt after the 1935 hurricane.
