...this closure is presumably going to be longer than the collapse closure, with reopening predicated on repairs to that column or removal of the load it's supporting being completed.
At first I was thinking that too, but then I wondered if they could relatively quickly shore up the load with temporary jacks/braces around the affected column(s). It's possible that supplemental structure, such as is routinely used in/around demolitions to begin with, could be installed fairly swiftly here if the loading is well understood.
