If this was a priority, there would be several parallel paths already in play. I'm not sure there are.

One of those paths would be reviewing the original design to see what changes could be made to bring it up to 'current day standards' and replicated it which is likely the fastest and simplist path.

Another path would be looking at what options exist for temporary (floating?) bridging with a (re)movable section to enable ship traffic.

Complete replacement would be another path.

I imagine a concrete plant will be setup very close by - this is something that will be needed regardless of the path chosen and could be happening now. Are they looking at concrete suppliers yet?

Steel procurement could also be taking place. Form factor yet to be determined, but the quantities needed are several mill runs. Where are we at with this? I expect the steel grade will be fairly standard regardless of the design path.

There are lots of other things anyone who has ever been involved in construction PM could point out that aren't on the critical path yet but will be when they stop making excuses and start doing stuff.
