I think they're going to build a massively large, sturdy and high bridge. The cost of this bridge will reflects it's value to commerce. Probably costing over $2B. I doubt they go for any form of interim bridge as it'll get in the way. I'd also expect tugboats will now escort the ships completely out of the harbour for good measure and speed limits will be enforced with huge fines.
Probably should have already been doing that, given how much ships have grown since the bridge was built.
Well the problem with that is it almost makes perfect sense. Otoh, always pushing the limits on the size of your ships does have some negative consequences. I wonder if there's any worldwide standard limiting the size of these ships? Wouldn't bridge-builders want to know?
