Which makes sense.
Now, how does one replace a one lane bridge and at the same time keep “One lane will be open at all times during construction?”
If it was Puna, they would route the traffic through a private subdivision without any compensation for wear and tear or fixing any damage. I don't know how Hilo does it.

Lead engineer said it ..lets see how. I envision them building new half first with some basic ( logic applied ) traffic control ..

That engineer must be a complete and total genius.
Since the design of the replacement bridge has not even been done yet, how any engineer can say how it would be constructed must be able to know the future!
And again - it's an existing one lane bridge.
How do you close half of one lane and still allow traffic?
Applying logic as well!
