That's almost a quarter billion dollars per year.

Some math follows.
$7,000 million / $228 million/year = 30.7 years.

It should be standing and collecting tolls 30,40,50 years from now, it should ultimately pay for itself.
Aren't the tolls primarily for maintenance costs? Are the tolls going up to pay for the new span (I have no idea...).
