were able to do design bill and go to work in construction in 15 months, with rode cars across the biloxi bay bridge and the bridge of st. louis. >> that's a great result just like the bridge in minneapolis. of course, it was replacing a structure that had collapsed. there were a great many steps in the permitting process that did not have to be repeated but there was also an element of that project that was very important. it has missed public attention and that is the contractor had a facility -- had a building near the construction site, rented for the period of construction, and minnesota d.o.t. and federal highway administration district engineer office also had offices in that building. separated a corridor apart but they walked back and forth daily, daily, reviewing plans, discussing needs and cutting through the approvals -- cutting the time of approvals that would be required and would be time-consuming in other projects. now, that's the kind of expediting that i want -- that's -- you talked about hand-in-hand a moment ago, this is hand-in-hand. this is partnership. >> yes, sir.
