Doing a bit of math, the bridge is listed as 2737m. Dynamic rope that is dry treated, lets say is $10/m. Lets say you need 50m of rope per 1m of bridge length. Thats $1.37M of rope.

Labour : cost = ?

additional infrustructure = ?

design = ?

I'm not sure how they came up to $50M, but it even the most conservative estimates would probably have this at $10M?
