As we found out in Minneapolis around 2011 I think, you get very long detours when major bridges collapse.
Or Baltimore in 2024
Or like.. 12 days when I-95 collapsed.
To be fair, they filled underneath that bridge in and paved over it in 12 days. I95 was the major priority and they could ignore the off ramp for the time being. Building the bridge took much longer even with great deal of manpower and equipment dedicated to it.
