Given how much money currently isn't flowing into that port, I'd be surprised if it takes more than a week to at least get a lane open. There are a **** ton of companies that will lose a **** ton of money with all those ships sitting idle.

It's not hat simple but there will be some kind of round the clock work. I'd say at least a month. They should be planning right now and getting equipment in place.

Never been on that bridge. But I spent a great deal of time recently in the southeast and have traveled over the Talmadge bridge that spans the Savannah River in Savannah and the Cooper River bridge in Charleston.
Amazing seeing the size of those ships navigating a channel so narrow and passing side by side with another of the same breadth. There is a proposal to raise the Talmadge bridge another 20 feet to nearly 200 feet, so that the largest container ships can pass underneath. They’ll replace the cables and and raise the bridge that way. I’ve taken a tour on a ship through the Savannah River and you can see the graffiti on the underside of the bridge where merchant marine folks had climbed to the top of the container as they passed the bridge and wrote messages underneath. |

Yep, they said the biggest hurdle is just getting the floating cranes.
