I notice that they didn't replace the sidewalk with the original tile - they just used asphalt instead.

That's impressive! さすが日本 :-)

Despite stereotypes, critical fixes can get done quickly in the US as well:
* 1994: C. C. Myers replaces earthquake-damaged structures (including collapsed bridges) on I-10 in Santa Monica, CA in 3 months (article) -- "In Sacramento, Caltrans Director James van Loben Sels estimated that without the accelerated effort the project would probably have taken two years to complete."
* 2004: Acrow Corp. replaces fire-damaged I-95 overpass in Bridgeport, CT, in 6 days (article) (temporary bridge)
* 2007: C. C. Myers replaces fire-damaged I-580 overpass in MacArthur Maze, Oakland, CA, in 26 days (article) (permanent)
