There are two tunnels that carry 95 through the center of the city, and the other side of the 695 beltway that takes you around the city on the opposite side of the bridge. That bridge was mainly used by shipping companies from all the distribution centers and warehouses on the southeast side, so now they'll all have to go an extra several dozen miles around the other way and making normal traffic a nightmare.
It's times like this that I remember how little traffic there was all through covid when everyone was quarantining or working from home. Imagine if the city ordered people to work from home to free up traffic for shipping until a new bridge is built.
