It is a really interesting idea to temporarily reopen I-95. I guess Acrow wouldn't have worked in that configuration.

Now all they have to do is actually replace the bridge.

Super interesting to watch this unfold and see how they got it back to operation so quickly. At the bottom they have a graphic showing the intent for the next phases to replace the full width span and all the lanes.

We're in a brave new world of information availability in real time, and I think this was great to let the public in and see it all as it happened. There's been a lot of positivity and I think the short time frame and openness of information were key.
