That's why it'll take 'em eight weeks instead of the six it took to repair the bridge over I-85
Honestly, I would've given CW about 12 weeks here, it's a big bridge.

Yeah, I guess I was a bit ambitious with the project schedule. Yours is probably more realistic.

Add a zero to that 2 and you will get much closer to the real amount.

"We had to cross that racist bridge every day for years. Now that they have to rebuild it, here are our demands:
1. Rename it the George Floyd Elijah Cummings Memorial Crossing
2. We need our reparations for having to be reminded daily as we crossed it of the racist roots on which it was born.
3. Show us the money"

Maybe take a page from the LA playbook where they turned over the state highway to a private company to build a bridge and same company to charge tolls that are allowed annual increases without oversight. FJBE
I think the Key Bridge was already a toll bridge.
So now you have the debt from an old bridge on top of the debt from a new bridge. Unless they get the money to build it from Obama’s secret stash that people talked about during his presidency which is just the U.S. Treasury.

Let the Germans build it.
They rebuilt all of their homeland in LT 15 years.

British POWs with malaria and dysentery could build it in 1 year with bamboo and other tropical wood, all on two cups of rice a day.

Private sector would probably have it done in 12 months for less than $500M.

How much is the shipping companies' insurance companies kicking in? They have a pool of sound $3 billion and they fricked up the bridge.

A large portion of it but they will tie it up in court for years before they have to pay a penny.

Empire State Building. 11 months to build with far less technology and sophisticated equipment.
