31k vehicles a DAY went over that bridge. Can't run hazmat into tunnels. Gonna be wild re-routing that traffic.
Re: hazmat....barges, ferries, no?
Theoretically - yes. But I don't know what their average tonnage for hazmat per day would be and if the barge/ferry can carry the truck/trailer to move it. Otherwise you're looking to cross dock it prior, move over water, cross dock again and go onto delivery. Adds days to transit and thousands to cost. Multiple thousands. Not counting the cost of the ferry/barge.
Well yeah, but what's the alternative.
What's the best drive around route and would that be more effective.
