Go, Boh!

The governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, said a mouthful when she said, “Repairing our roads and bridges is a critical step in helping Louisiana citizens get back to normal.” There will be a lot of repairing to do. The state of Louisiana just awarded a contract to repair the damaged I-10 twin-span bridge across Lake Pontchartrain, the world's longest overwater highway bridge, to Boh Brothers Construction Co. of New Orleans, the low bidder on the job. Work began immediately and will continue 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Officials estimate traffic will be back on the Twin Spans within 45 days. I think that is wishful thinking, based on the pictures I saw of the bridge. But I think I speak for many when I say: go, Boh! Your comment?
