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.

Interestingly the bridge was used more for offloading/on loading cargo! Baltimore is the largest “roll on roll off” vehicle port along with it being the largest coal exporting port in the U.S.
Roughly 8k longshoreman are affected but there was/is some program that was activated to continue their pay from some fund
