^Cool pics. Interesting that the toll has essentially been cut by 60% over the last 60 years. 65 cents in 1936 is roughly equivalent to $10 today, yet the toll today is only $4, in spite of demand that is perhaps an order of magnitude higher.
Kind of laughable that the $77,000,000 cost would only equate to about $1.2 billion today. I would guess that an entirely new structure would be at least $25 billion, probably more.
