We don't spend enough on infrastructure maintenance and proactive replacement. Voters don't vote for candidates who promise to maintain things...they want new things.
Surely civil engineers monitor the bridge's condition. I wonder what their reports have been advising up to now.

Months to fix lol, put a crew of non-union welders on it and it will be done by morning and stronger the the bridge around it.
I don’t think the estimated time has much to do with welding up the broken support. The time will be the inspection of the bridge itself. What stresses caused this support to break? The overall integrity of the bridge is going to be confirmed before traffic is allowed to cross the bridge again.
