God bless those poor souls but that bridge cost 14 million dollars!!! Yes! 740 feet of concrete at the expense of $14MM, now moved to garbage yard. Then add the most expensive mile in history (New York suway - one, cool, billion, dollars, for, one mile) and no wonder our infrastructure is in such poor state ;(

I think that the $14 million for that bridge was a reasonable cost (assuming it was a functioning bridge).

Apparently $14MM is not enough to buy a bridge that works.
