Me an gwiller3 have the same question. It seems impossible that the much smaller Smokehos Bay Bridge can cost almost half as much as the SS Jolly Bridge. I have been saying this for two years ever since Ronnie Joel spoke at our service organization breakfast and was talking about 10-12 million for the smaller bridge. What real actually need is just a bridge sidewalks.
I'm not supporting this big expense, but you do need to remember that the Smokehouse Bay Bridge is not one bridge but is acutually two bridges. Winterberry Bridge was over 4 million so if you multiply X 2 you will get to 8 million. We need a better gauge as to whether this has to be done at this time or can it be patched up and used for several more years.
