The $5 to $10 billion in economic losses in 2024 could have been prevented if it was a tunnel as was built at the two other Baltimore harbor highway crossings. Build a 6,000 foot long tunnel. That was the original plan for the outer harbor crossing. The Key Bridge approach span piers were built on the causeways that were built for a tunnel.
1:46 - The Bay Bridge is a suspension bridge (and cantilever, and through-truss), not cable-stay.
The old cantilever section was torn down & replaced with a box gerter & single tower cable stayed bridge.
Will they consider using the existing approach ramps?
Nope.

I'd rather see a tunnel built then another boring cable stayed bridge.
Every jet is now a twin jet. No more trijets or quad jets. Every bridge is now a cable stayed bridge. This is getting boring.
