I fully understand the decision to close the bridge based upon the, at the time, unknown extent of the defects until a more thorough examination and assessment is completed.
This is a very large structure and even given that the engineers will know what to look for and where based on what is readily visible and already known I suspect that a report and plan of action will take until the new year at least.
If it is found that closing the bridge was absolutely necessary rather than just precautionary then making the bridge safe to be put back into service is much more than just a few weeks away.
I hope I am wrong but my best guess is that the bridge could be closed for months.
