Probably the first two. Is there an estimate of how long it will take before it opens again?

No they are trying to hash out if they should build a temp or not. There is a huge permitting issue as well with this size of a project and the whole thing still has to be bid to be constructed. Needless to say it’s a mess with no clear end in sight

What a mess. I wonder how many people commuted to their job using that bridge. Hopefully some folks can work from home in the meantime, but I'm sure there are a lot that cannot.

Roughly 8k longshoreman are affected but there was/is some program that was activated to continue their pay from some fund
