GDOT says it will take at least several months to rebuild I-85


I am completely and utterly ignorant on this kind of thing, but why will it take that long? I'm sure there is A LOT that goes into this kinda thing, but with companies devoting everything they have to get this done (which I imagine would be the case) it seems like it would only take a few weeks. You've got to rebuild the columns, lay the foundation, add the actual road...but why is that a 4-6 month process?

All of the structural components are prefab and made to order. Think about all of the giant overhead beams for the NW Corridor project. They've been working on that for a couple of years now, and they're just getting all of the structural pieces in place.

And that's with planning.
