Can America rebuild the bridge? Yes

In the past 16 years, California so far has spent $11 billion on a high-speed rail project that hasn't completed a single mile of track. Do you think Maryland is more efficient than California?

The question was, “Can . . . ?”

Yes.

Is Maryland more efficient than California?

Neither is efficient.

Meanwhile, I would have a ferry operating between the bridgeheads, by April 10th.

I would have enough, passable channel cleared and open for ship traffic by April 30th. MV Dali, still in place; leaving that ship to the investigators and deconstructors.

The MV Dali bow is hung up on top of what remains of, the south FSK Bridge support for what was the central span. From the starboard side, cranes and crews can remove all the cargo weight and then strip down the ship.

Leaving weight at the stern. The idea being, to, as much as possible, allow buoyancy to lift the bow, and then move the ship away and up into a shipyard for further consideration.

I would have a study of that south FSK Bridge support base, to determine if we use its remaining “stud” or not; but continue to work toward a replacement of some form.

Meanwhile, ashore, build new span sections, including redundancy.

Bridge supports in place, work the span sections out over the water, lift up and onto place.

The FSK Bridge could be open by late summer of 2025.

That can be.
