Well, if you only want people to come to Calgary only for the money and then leave when they are full, we don't no stinkin' bridges. If you want people to stay around for other reasons and establish themselves in the community long-term, you're going to need to give them more than an outlet mall by the airport. Otherwise when the jobs are no longer there, they will get out dodge.
If people have the right amenities and and live in vibrant cities, they will put up with the extra cost. A world-class bridge is not the game-changer, but it acts towards that goal. Some equally expensive interchange in bum-fataville used by 0.5% of the population does none of that.
