It was $26.4 million to open two lanes of the bridge temporarily after Ivan by replacing a few spans. It was $245 million to replace the whole thing. >>>Can someone explain why it takes 8 months and 1.5 million dollars to build a two lane 150 foot bridge over a creek when the I-10 bridge over Escambia Bay only took one year and 26 million dollars for bridge that has six lanes, four emergency lanes, and is 3 miles long?
