I believe it.

OTOH, I heard a radio report in the last 24 hours that they expect to soon re-open the road. I can also imagine that, some sort of quick-dash paving and mobile bridging for one lane.

When I heard of the outage I saw a paragraph about I-8 as one take-the-load highway. ...

For the fun value, 20 or 30 years ago a truck took out the US Hwy 50 bridge over the Arkansas River west of the Royal Gorge. That necessitated lengthy detours. One could detour around north or around south, about the same distance. (Less of a detour than this Desert Center problem.)

The fun part was that about a week into the detouring the newspaper added that ordinary passenger cars, if they chose, could use the Royal Gorge suspension bridge, a tolled route.

What they are doing is putting in a temporary crossover and for that section, using the westbound lanes as a two-way road.  The Westbound bridge is being strengthened this week.
They have to rebuild the bridge from scratch, and do a lot of work upstream to control future runoff.
