Mississippi wouldn’t even have figured out which campaign donor was going to get the emergency contract in 2 weeks

Ron DeSantis made that happen. He repaired bridges in like 5 days after the hurricane, they couldn't be outdone.

Oh but we would have. We are VERY efficient in that sort of thing.

That because to most we are just a land mass between Louisiana and Alabama.......always has been, always will.

Have been through that stretch of road many times during my automotive engineering days in the past. Can't even fathom that road being down very long. Huge commercial artery for the northeast.

Yeah unfortunately you’re probably correct

Probably a Design-Build project. Advantage of Design-Build is that a bridge can get built FAST. Disadvantage is that there's not as much Quality Assurance as Design-Bid-Build, and the costs usually over run. That's why most Design-Build projects are mostly Federally funded.

If PA can figure it out, MS could too. Unless it was their campaign donor that took the I95 out in the first place which is a possibility as well.

I didn’t read the article but read right after it happened that they weren’t replacing the overpass, they were just going to fill the road below it and pave over the top of the fill. Temporary fix until they could replace the overpass/ bridge.
