The Golden Nears Bridge along with its viaducts, ramps, interchanges and roadway was under 1 billion, so not too hard to imagine.

true but not a fair comparison as it was done as a true global 3 P project. European labour was used to build the bridge and were housed in work camps and paid in euro. This project was at the height of foreign worker program. The rebar cages for large parts of the project was tied in Asia and only had a percentage was tied here after the unions cried fowl. If you ever watch some of the ega structure shows on discovery channel in Europe that was the way it was built. If I recall Translink had a significant claim against BF for quality of work and also Worksafe had major issues as hurt workers were flew home without reporting the injuries.
