Why do you like making fun of physically handicapped people.  Do you also despise the blind and people with cancer?

Also, DU is an extremist hate site, it's a better place to make fun of the disabled.

To me that makes sense, just looking at road work/construction today, at least around where I live,  I bet it is taking easily 5-10 times longer for jobs to be completed than it did 20 years ago even with all the technological advancements since then.

It took them less than 5 years to rebuild the I-10 twin span bridge after it was destroyed by Katrina, and that is a much longer bridge.

I'm finally back in the US with unfiltered internet. Sitting at the  cruise port in Norfolk because we can't dock in Baltimore. We get to ride a bus for 4+ hours to retrieve our minivan and drive home. It's going to be awesome.

So how tall does ARf think the replacement should be?

The Bay Bridge and the original Key Bridge are/were both 158', severely limiting the ships that can reach the harbor.

The two Bay Bridge spans were built in '52 and '73.

That bridge is mostly a causeway. It has a small arched section or two that permits barge traffic to go in and out of Lake Ponchartrain.

There are no major ports on Lake Ponchartrain.

The arched sections aren't designed to pass Panamax much less Suezmax vessels.

You're right, if it's cable stayed it'll likely be at least somewhat attractive. I'm thinking more along the lines of the Pocahontas parkway bridge over the James.

There’s a coast guard 87 (CGC mako) that’s been out there doing a safety zone. If you look at its public AIS track, it’s moved above and below the bridge, going under the un-collapsed section on the west side. It’s still 20+ feet over there and the navigational draft (2x physical draft) of that class is only 12 feet. So as long as the Captain of the Port allows it, the path exists. I would bet it’s still declared closed for the safety of salvage operations though.

Is the pic supposed to show chemtrails or something else?  For what purpose?

ETA:  Now I see the 'barriers' in the pic.  That's what is preventing folks from looking at the bridge from land or something?

I'm implying they are probably worth only $2-3/hour.   Very little training, experience, certification.  

AFAIK, while they're on the ship, they're legal because they're technically outside the USA.  But they'll need a passport and visa to step off the ship into the USA.

That’s kinda the funny thing about how people are upset the sailors are being kept on the ship. They don’t have entry visas to the USA so why would we let them in? They’ll probably tow the ship to a yard to get the bow repaired and they’ll stay on it there too. They aren’t Americans and don’t have permission to come here. What are we going to do, put them up in a hotel and then “make sure” they don’t disappear in to the country side?

The Baltimore harbor is dredged to 50' deep, the Key Bridge's former span and both spans of the Chesapeake Bay bridge are 158' to the water line.
It is a very undersized port for today's ships.
