I'm going to wait and see what the final budget numbers are on this bridge. I don't believe that a bridge that is 13 months behind is going to be budget neutral, and good luck recouping from any of the contractors.

I don't buy that tourists are going to flock to the city for the bridge, I would be curious to see if during Stampede people flock to the bridge just to take a picture.

To me looking at that bridge, its just a sore thumb, I don't thinks its pretty or artistic or anything like that.
