As we hear reports that it will take 10 years (🤯) to replace the 1.6 mile Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, remember that China built the Danyang-Kunshan bridge in 4 years.

The Danyang-Kunshan Bridge is 102 miles long (164 km), 100 feet (30m) above the water, is earthquake proof, typhoon proof, and designed to withstand a direct strike from a 300,000 ton cargo ship. That last point is unfortunately topical.
