Damaged bridge was removed and I-95 reopened both ways 80 hours after the fire. Bridge will take a year to replace.

any replacement structure really ought to have greater horizontal clearance.  At least one of the backwalls was damaged by heat would imagine.

There's a jersey barrier, 3 or 4 feet of flat concrete, then the wall. Seems adequate.

Agreed. Design a longer structure in case CTDOT gets around to widening I-95 through that area at some point.
