If it makes you feel any better, we had to wait 20 years for the Humboldt Bay Trail between Eureka and Arcata. The northern half is built, the southern half is built, but there's a four mile gap between cities that had to be worked out between state, county, and private land owners. It's in the funding stage, and with luck it'll be finished in 2022. There are currently three options to get between the cities, all of them unpleasant due to high speed traffic and two with narrow to nonexistent shoulders.
I hope you get your bridge sooner rather than later. And as others have said, you have to advocate for it.
