I'm taking the picture. The guys in the photo are the Contract Administrator for my company, and the Project Manager and Site Super for the Contractor. All very good guys.
I think you mean "replace", since we are basically rebuilding half of the bridge. No, it would most definitely not be cheaper to replace the bridge. Plus, there's nothing wrong with the superstructure, it was the substructure that was falling apart. (Substructure being the concrete work.) Plus, you need to keep the trains moving. Nothing can ever stop that. You have to build your bridge around the trains. If you have to spend 20 million to keep the trains moving while only doing 1 million worth of work - so be it.
It's the same line that is behind Summerhill, but not Summerhill.
