Interesting that you know that bridge haha! I was from Shanghai and as a kid I went by that bridge a couple of times. I think my grandfather was actually somewhat involved in the design (I think the steel structure part).
Take a note from the new (kinda old now) sunshine skyway bridge in the tampa area they rebuilt that bridge with super redundancy coffers and wider span to lessen the collision chances
Congress has to fund the bridge to get the ball rolling and the shipping company and it's insurers will have to reimburse the federal government the taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for something that the ship did
Even those have pillars! There are, also, two types of suspension: the "traditional" type, with arcs of cables between towers/pillars and the roadway hung from those cables, and the more modern "cable stay", with lots of parallel cables going directly from the roadway to the tower(s).
The Iraq war was scammed onto the american people based on weapons of mass destruction that never existed, was done so by a republican president. What we got out of it a 20 year war at the cost of $1.8 trillion.
Hopefully a self anchored suspension or tied arch bridge with full shoulders and breakdown lanes will be great.
What I'd like to see ... is a modern tied arch design. Something similar to the Lupu Bridge in China. It would just look right in that spot.
That's exactly what I'm thinking too like the Beautiful Lupu Bridge

@@davidfreeman3083 Hmm. Fascinating.

Tampa area? Tampa BAY you mean? It’s near st Pete more so than Tampa.

The federal government or state (whoever) should pay for the bridge materials. So they should bid the labor to assemble it.
Where be the Dali ?
Sounds like an open checkbook. 1.7 billion will likely just be a deposit.
Hey Maryland.....Think "Gordie Howe" bridge....
Why do your videos sound like they are being recorded with a potato microphone and camera?
It should be a suspension bridge. Any other bridge would be vulnerable to another collision.
Even those have pillars!

They could reuse those not damaged piers
😅😅
It should have a 100ft gap in the middle. 100mph recommend limit. And everybody gets to jump the gap across. And ships get to pass through easily. 😎
$1.7 Billion. U would think they could do a tunnel , if spending so much.
That would be 4-5 times as much.
Hazardous loads are banned from going through tunnels, so bridges or more complicated routes will still be needed for hauling those.
There already is at least one tunnel
Get To Work. The Bridge Was Needed Yesterday! Roll Up Your Sleeves And Get Her S
Done!!!
$1.7 billion is nothing compared to the money wasted on Ukraine.

It's not even a tiny drop in the bucket.
they should call it new Dali bridge because it's no Key Bridge no more and it will be different Bridge from Key Bridge, name it Dali bridge
Hello …
and Dali's owners, Grace Ocean Private Limited, should pay for it !
Yes, rename it after the ship that destroyed it. You should be a politician.
@@1972Ray yes I should bloody will be in Australia
Suspension bridge and make reinforced barriers in the water surrounding the structures that will be placed in the water
Or an Arch Bridge .
