"Well in order to get those large carriers out, they have to shut down traffic and dismantle the bridge. It essentially floats, so they can just disconnect a piece or two, tow them out of the way, and let the ship out."

What in the world are you talking about? The carriers are located on harbor mouth side of the bridge. They don't go anywhere near it. As for being modular and dismantled...gee, never saw that all the years I lived and worked there.
