Arrange for Singaporeans to knock it down and clear the channel.

Have one ship run into the bridge, ""on accident"". Problem solved for the 4.5 years it takes to rebuild. Rinse and repeat.

Built a set of inbound and outbound locks a couple miles long that forces ships to a specific lane under the bridge.

By doing nothing, it's not a big issue, heck, we don't even care about it right now. What we do care about is building a bunch of tiny replicas and maybe stitching them together throughout the old bridge.

That's not a good idea, why? Because the Suez Canal is nowhere near the bridge!

Replace the bridge with a pair of trebuchets that launch vehicles across the river.

Ann Arbor says hello. Can't even add a lane, let alone new freeways.

If you let two people call out random ship coordinates, one at a time, there should be no bridge collisions.
