So how is it a shorter, smaller downtown bridge costs $20 million to resurface (6th street bridge) and a much larger, longer bridge (Benson street) costs $4 million?
The $4.3 million project will include the complete removal and replacement of the bridge deck, although the concrete girders and everything below the bridge deck will remain in place.
Granted, there is tons of utility work and on street parking that comes with 6th street bridge (stuff the developer should really be paying for since it is utilities and parking for their residents, not to mention the $25 million dollar tax rebate on the parking ramp).
But isn’t it funny a larger bridge’s resurface comes in at a paltry $4.3 million and a project that is almost identical (but smaller) comes in at 5x that?
BUSTED!
Everyone knows the 6th street bridge was an inside deal. Maybe the Unity sign cost $16 million?
Or maybe you are just a bunch of rotten corrupt politicians? Maybe?
