Now all they need to do is find a location where the roadway is 'trestled' over the ground and have stored debris catch on fire and damage the roadway.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

 Don't give "they" a chance. There is such a place. (former MoP PS&R and Stockyards area below 1st Street interchange with I-25 aka "Illiff", north of Damon Runyan Field)

....But you won't see the polititians going after the brainless truckers...

I was just at a conference in Denver where I was able to get a hotel with a view of the Joint Line.  Plenty of coal traffic, it looks like they can keep things running using the tracks on the east side of I-25 in Pueblo.

It will be interesting to see how quickly they replace the bridge.

Understand the new skewed floor beams to go with the secondhand girders out of Texas are being fabricated.

FYI / UPDATE: Bridge replacement starts 12/18 with overnite closure of I-25 and initial placement of thru-deck girder beams and repairs to highway guardrails, etc.

Per a participant on a morning amateur radio net, the bridge parts are installed and the road is opened again.

Yes.

They note several times in the YouTube comments that it was on I-25 north of Pueblo, which confirms it isn't a 'lookalike'.  You did well to spot that bridge as it's only in the first second or two of the video...
