There is simply no reason why a temporary fix can't be done to allow accessibility for through traffic, although perhaps at a reduced speed. Alas bureaucratic agencies are mot known for making speedy decisions and I expect that before this is over they will wind up spending more money "studying" the problem than it would take to create a temporary roadbed that would solve it. I worked as a layout engineer building roads many years ago and most of the construction foreman I worked for had forgotten more about building roads than most engineers. Find a good foreman, tell him to create an inexpensive temporary fix and Charlotte will be back in business in a jiffy.
