Demolition of the bridge? So they'll build a new bridge that quickly? That doesn't sound right. Unless the timing of the rebuilding of the bridge isn't included in here.

Just passing along the information that was given to me.
I would think the time frame includes the building of the new bridge, but I don't know. I guess time will tell

It can be done if they have incentive. Remember how fast they rebuilt the elevated sections of I-45 downtown. It was nothing short of amazing IMO.

And the bridges along I-10 out toward Katy went up fairly quickly.

NASA and 45 are always a load of fun, construction or not. I'm sure this will be a real blast.

Blast....you know, they're demolishing the bridge and all....heh...haha....hahaha....LMFAO! Get it? Erm, anyway, it seems like that section of 45 and/or NASA are always under construction at one point or another.

Oh didn't mean anything negative by my comments - was just surprised at the amount of work they plan to do in a seemingly short amount of time.
