It took a year to build the Empire State Building, and 5 years to build the Hoover Dam yet current estimates for the Francis Scott Key bridge rebuild are near 10 years. Why is this? Have we regressed?

You can build anything extremely quickly if you don’t care about the safety of the builders or the quality of the materials. Now add in a busy sea way/port, a collapsed bridge and who knows what else. These all add time. I very much doubt it’ll take 10 years as the Key bridge seems fairly important.
