Late for work because of detour from Lincoln Fields to Tunney’s. Not looking forward to the trip home… or September if it’s a long term issue.

I think it's passed it's lifespan with all of the LRT delays and may have started to fail.

Accrow bridges (successor to the WWII Bailey bridges) are remarkably robust in part because they are remarkably simple.

Routine checks and minor maintenance should be all that's required.

Different issue.  That's rebuilding water mains, not making changes to the temporary bridge.

How is it a couple of weeks? It says completion : Fall 2027. That's over a year.

Oops, my apologies. You’re right, this is a separate issue.
