If it was copper it would be cleaned up by the meth heads in no time.

The price of copper is pretty amazing right now.

They should make this bridge under budget. Like a bridge they build in shop then float to site.

I think 5 years is a fair timeframe for building the bridge once you realize how big this bridge was. It was the 2nd longest bridge in the USA after all.
