$51,000 a linear FOOT (that's just for the hike/bike portion). State engineer refuses to certify it safe to use.
Compare and contrast to the nearby Big R Bridge prefab Joe Ratcliff Walkway over Dallas' 18-lane LBJ freeway/tollway, installed over two nights.
Thanks for doing the math for me. I think it wasn't clear in my post (based on a comment by someone) that the car part of the bridge was $130 million. The two "decorative" hike and bike bridge add-ons were an additional $115 million. So the $51K a foot figure is not for the car section as well, that was already paid for by the state (taxpayers).
Looks kinda cool, but apparently it feels like crossing the Grand Canyon on a rope bridge in a tornado.
I used to tell people I lived near Dallas, now I tell them I live near Fort Worth. I didn't move, but my perspective did.
