That's a really long rebuild, but if the soil is indeed unstable it would have to be done.

..."We won’t be advancing to construction without that full package put together,” Miletich said.
The bridge is expected to have a moveable deck so large ships can still sail underneath. There will be bike and pedestrian lanes on either side and two lanes of traffic each way.
No rail is planned, but the bridge will be designed to be streetcar-ready, in case that option is ever adopted.
At the moment, demolition of the bridge is scheduled to start in 2027, with a potential opening in 2031."...
