Just watching the news the other night, and the gov of the great state of Washington, the honorable Christine Gregoire unveiled her new plan for replacing the 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington. The plan calls for a new bridge to be built which would run parallel to the existing bridge, effectively doubling the traffic capacity of the bridge.
Good idea.
The way that it would be paid for would be by installing a toll. So the people who use the road (in theory) would pay for the road.
Good idea.
The cost? Get ready.....FOUR BILLION DOLLARS.....
So, I engaged my curiosity and creativity, did a little research and according to NASA we can buy 3 Space Shuttle's for the price of one bridge. Wonder how many commuters you could pile in a Space shuttle?
Just a little something to chew on.
