I'd say it's more around 60 billion with all the kickbacks and payoffs to local, state and federal governments and the union kickbacks

Given it will take at least 5-8 years, and REAL inflation running at 10-12%, $10 billion is probably an under-estimate.

I say we hire a construction crew from Ukraine, pay them $5T and give them a decade to complete the work.

I’ll bet Trump could have it done within 2 years or less. Remember the Ice Skating Rink?

$400 million to several billion dollars Sometimes you can't always predict the kickback cost....

You are too nice!
The Dems will pad the cost (like $1 trillion) to use for spending elsewhere like social justice programs at universities.

The left would rather not have the bridge rebuilt at all than to have Trump rebuild it successfully. After Trump’s election in ‘16 New Yorkers were boycotting the rink because he had rebuilt it.

Add unions, enviromentalists, competing designs, and politics, that will be $3-5 BILLION and 7-10 years.
Compare with the Woodrow Wilson Bridge just a bit south on I-95 over the Potomac.

It will be spent but never be built.

Why not dig a tunnel? I say ten years, it takes four years to do eight miles of plain old interstate.

When it’s all said and done, the cost will be $10-15 BILLION and take 2-3 years.

An engineering project set aside for DEI administrators to train new engineers from DEI schools with catered meals for the next 20 years. But it will never be replaced. New Spotted Crab Habitat or something like it.

You’ve obviously not spent much time in the Bay-Bridge-Bay-Bridge-Bay-Bridge, trip in the region?

Why doesn’t this cost accrue to Maersk? Don’t they own/lease/control the ship? Aren’t they insured?
Why did SloJo hang this one on the American People?

There are already two tunnels there, but they can’t move Hazmat loads through them

For reference, construction of the new, 3-mile long Tappan Zee bridge cost $4 billion and took about 4 years to complete.

For reference, construction of the new, 3-mile long Tappan Zee bridge cost $4 billion and took about 4 years to complete. They could take their time with the new bridge because the old one was still in place.
In this case, there is only one bridge and it's broken.
