They got a $200k per day early completion bonus and used some quick-setting concrete that apparently no one at CALTRANS knows about, finishing 74 days ahead of schedule.

The state gov. had initially said that the I-10 would be closed for a year to fix it, that wound-up being a month(?) or something...
