It looks like long-distance traffic would normally take the remaining bridge over I-895 rather than over I-695, though I suppose it’ll be more congested now due to more traffic having to pass over it.
Not exactly. If you’re traveling I-95, you might take this if you’re carrying hazmat and can’t use the tunnels. Or you could go on the other side of the beltway (which I imagine many do, because it avoids the tolls for the bridge). Unfortunately, the west side of I-695 has more traffic than this side.
It is likely to disrupt shipping in a major US port. This will have repercussions throughout the economy until the port is fully reopened.
That bridge was also part of I-95, a major northeastern transit corridor. That will also be majorly impacted.
