But we know that would have been a political impossibility because of all the properties in Brooklyn and Manhattan that would have to have been taken over for such a huge project.

Actually, if getting rid of the bridge is part of the deal, then that opens up a lot of avenues. I'm not saying that it would be a cakewalk, but it offers much more possibility.

Technically, tunnel work wouldn't be necessary - just run all trains via Montague St. Grand St altered to become a terminal for B/D trains if both sides of the bridge were out, or allowed to proceed per current route if not. In event of the former, Brooklyn B route replaced by service or extended J service, and Brooklyn D route replaced by extended W route.
