This will have repercussions throughout the economy until the port is fully reopened. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gregorum@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (2 children) That bridge was also part of I-95, a major northeastern transit corridor. That will also be majorly impacted. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tal@lemmy.today 8 points 2 years ago https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Atlanta,+Georgia/Bangor,+maine/@39.22529,-76.645258,11z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m2!1m1!1s0x88f5045d6993098d:0x66fede2f990b630b!1m2!1m1!1s0x4cae4b46101129bd:0x4d0918b0a7af7677!3e0 It looks like long-distance traffic would normally take the remaining bridge over I-895 rather than over I-695, though I suppose it'll be more congested now due to more traffic having to pass over it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] limelight79@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago Not exactly. If you're traveling I-95, you might take this if you're carrying hazmat and can't use the tunnels. Or you could go on the other side of the beltway (which I imagine many do, because it avoids the tolls for the bridge). Unfortunately, the west side of I-695 has more traffic than this side. permalink fedilink source parent
