  1. That's a good observation since lots of people do B2B on these Vision itineraries.
  2. But how cognizant of that would they have been? exactly. Maybe moreso during daylight
  3. True, but would your typical construction worker - especially any that are used to working on or around the bridge - have even paid any attention to the river traffic. I agree though - I would have made a run for it if possible. LONG bridge though. They were working in the middle area I believe (?) By car, sure. Totally unsuspecting anything though. "Just another day at the office", as it were.
  4. With all this speculation, maybe CC should get up a pool on when it'll all be done...could be more exciting than doing NCAA brackets. All joking aside, most tragic for the construction workers. No warning whatsoever of what was about to happen for them.
  5. I'd say you're right. First they have to contract with a dredger and then get all the equipment there. Could be a pretty extended project. And then you've got currents and changing conditions to deal with.
  6. The Chief addressed this earlier jn post 218: "The resumption of cruising, just like commercial shipping, will not depend on rebuilding the bridge, only on removing the debris from the shipping channel, not even the outer arches which are outside the channel. But, yes, it will take 2-4 months to accomplish that. " Somewhere along the way it was mentioned that commercial traffic will likely resume before passenger cruising. It does seem likely as well as logical, but I was surprised that when were on the Mississippi back in October and were significantly delayed by barge traffic, the captain told us that passenger traffic (at least right then) had priority and so we got to go while the tows waited. Perhaps that was a unique situation for a given day and time.
  7. That's why cruises on Enchantment, Grandeur, and now the Vision have been so popular over the years.
