Normally, when large bridges get replaced, they have to build the new one next to the old one so that traffic is not interupted for years. I've seen this done for the Bay Bridge in SF, the 6th street bridge in LA, etc.
They don't have to worry about that for this one. They can use the existing pylons and foundations if they want.
