Why don’t The Powers That Be simply take the technology that was going to be applied to building a temporary port for the Gaza Strip, and setting it up OUTSIDE the collapsed bridge? That would be a good use of available resources, and get the port of Baltimore back into operation at limited capacity.

Concentrate on the reopening of the channel with all deliberate speed, and most of the rest of the port can be back in gear within months, not years.

Reconstructing the bridge is a separate priority.

Yes, I suspect that's what will happen. Rerouting traffic is another separate problem which I'm sure is solvable, though at a cost.

No port facilities were damaged. Once the bridge debris is cleared the port will be back in operation. The temporary floating pier that the Navy is building in Gaza is for use only with specially-designed roll on-roll off ships that the Navy operates, not with normal container ships. Building a temporary pier outside of the bridge area would do nothing to get shipping back in operation.

That makes way too much sense. Intentional or not, the left/Dems/Deep State is not going to let this crisis go to waste. Biden’s minions will slow roll the rebuild to further strain the economy and then blame it on Trump.
