My guess is it could take six months or longer to clear everything in the water and dismantle and clear the portions of the bridge that could fall on ships below. Maybe the re-opening of the port access will happen in stages - minimal access first with more access over time.
For the bridge itself, my guess is at least 5 years and probably more. The assessment and RFP process alone could easily take more than a year. Hopefully this runs parallel to the clearing process, not sequentially. I don’t know enough about the area, but hopefully there are opportunities for some beefed up alternative routes that can occur more quickly to relieve some of the ground traffic. That’s not always possible with water below and also would take a while even if possible.
