Obviously it's too soon to say what the replacement plan is, but the original bridge took 5 years in the 70s to build, so this is unlikely to merely be a medium term closure.

cl94:
They've done emergency rebuilds pretty quickly in the past. It's certainly more substantial than St. Anthony Falls or I-40 OK, but if the approach spans can be salvaged, they may be able to rebuild within 2-3 years. Really comes down to if the feds can throw a ton of money at it.

For the purposes of TM, it's a long-term closure, but probably not worth removing that stretch entirely given the conditions. How did we handle cases like IN 912?

It was split, though it was created while broken (and reviewed and activated with the wrong bit missing!)

For the Genoa viaduct collapse we removed the closed section of road, but there was talk of them not reopening it (there was, and still is, a longstanding plan to build a bypass).

I'm in favor of keeping it as-is. Don't remove the segment from TM.
