Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

If they’re saying just over 4 years, then I’m probably way off. If they get the right crew on it, they could drag it out to 8 years and $4 billion. Or it will resemble this: https://i.imgflip.com/61w89k.jpg Or this: https://imgix.bustle.com/lovelace/uploads/448/0eda88b0-83a6-0134-ce0e-0aec1efe63a9....
