The Tacoma one is four lanes wide and cost about 30 mil I believe (unless my memory is off). With the price increases for steel, and two lanes plus 10\' sidewalks 30-40 mil should be in the range.

A Cable Stayed Bridge would cost half of the price of what the inept county is proposing, plus they weather earthquakes better. Yet nobody here will even consider it because it\'s less profitable and costs the taxpayers less. Wake up and smell the coffee already. Somebody has to stand up for common sense here.

The question then remains who to say \"screw you\" to. Traffic always wins out, it\'s the others that will have to stand up and be counted.
