for what that estimation was ? railroad or the road bridge ? so no the estimation for railroad bridge achieved in fact it happen sooner than what estimated . for road that is not something that can\t repair fast and my estimation was not a week for that part but by looking and those part and see how the bridge exactly is built , i say it will be fixed sooner than what i expected that is small damage to the place the bridge lie upon not to the pillar itself , that can be fixed sooner than you think and is less serious than it seems , just lift the bridge then change that part its separate from the pillar itself , its fixed to the bridge by its weight and some locking mechanism very easily replaceable , at least its how we build it , we even some times don't use concrete for it just use some sort of plastic material (that i don't knew exactly what it is) to reduce earth-quack effect . honestly that damage while looking so intimidating , is not that serious , easily fixed
