It will most likely cost more than $5M though. $5M doesn't stretch very far when it comes to a bridge of that length and capacity over a river. I wouldn't be surprised to see this bridge funded in the same fashion as the St. Patrick's Island bridge - through land sales in the area (East Village in the case of the St. Patrick's Island bridge, "West Village" in the case of this bridge). That's just speculation on my part though.
Anyway - back to topic.
