The 'Government'........has NO MONEY!!

It's in the Government and public's interest to have this bridge rebuilt ASAP. Waiting on the insurances to figure things out for 8 years and THEN start a rebuild - doesn't make sense.

.Gov steps in - pays, gets the bridge replaced ASAP and then takes the money from the insurance.


That's the preferred event. Will that happen? Dunno.
That’s how it works. Been there, done that. The contractor makes bank on these projects!
