“If this bridge ever gets built, I bet the cost will be more like 10-15 billion dollars.’

The 4.1 mile Sunshine Skyway bridge spanning Tampa Bay cost $244 million to build between 1982 and 1987. In today’s dollars $244 million would be $494.4 million.

The new Tappan Zee bridge will be 3.1 miles long and have an estimated cost of $3.1 billion.

$3.1 billion versus $494 million in today’s dollars for a mile longer bridge in Florida. Seems like a significant premium.
