Not necessarily. You need the entire engineering component as well, not to mention the type of materials used, the design of the bridge itself (ex. no posts in the water if that's what the design calls for) and all other associated cost overruns, which there is likely to be.
Let us remember that architects and designers are NOT engineers. They're only one aspect of it, and both need to be involved in building bridges such as these.
