katieb: The Feds did not design this bridge. The bridge had to be "shovel ready" to be considered for these funds. The bridge was designed more then a year before the feds even considered paying for it. This money is being put out there to give jobs to Florida workers. Look to the State as the span will belong to the State of Florida and the State will be responsible for maintenance just like the old span is now.
