The video. 

A long ad at the beginning but at five seconds can be skipped.

Without ads. The conspiracy talk begins.    

Later: when you look at the map, two immediate observations —

• this will have very little effect on national economy with regard to trucking
• this bridge was mainly built to route folks around Baltimore and expedite weekend tourists to the parks and beaches 
• I-95 is going to get a lot more congested, but little national economic impact
• the big economic impact will be the commercial shipping
• their first priority: get the channel open
• once the channel is open, efforts to replace the bridge will be delayed by the first question: is a new bridge even needed? And at what expense? This will become a hobby horse for the governor.
• don’t let a “crisis” go to waste
