State finally shuts major Readville bridge - and boy is he upset

Two years after it was initially scheduled for replacement, Readville's gateway to East Dedham, the Sprague Street bridge, has finally been shut down for demolition. The Joe is none too pleased that the project will take two years:

WTF!?!?!? I NEED THAT BRIDGE!!! The detour is like 10+ minutes!! It's useless to use the detour cause it will be quicker to go someplace further away! ARRRGHHH! ...

It took the Romans 10 years to build the Coliseum using wooden pullys and rope, so in theory it should take us 3 months to take down and build a new bridge using my logic (which is fool-proof). I'm pissed, I really am. I liked that bridge. It was a cool, helpful, well traveled bridge. It's going to hurt local businesses big time. I won't be surprised to see some of them close shop and its going to hurt my trips to DD's and my favorite pizza joint. ...
