Re: ''Trump pushes Republicans to oppose crucial New York-New Jersey tunnel project''

Wait, aren't the billions of dollars because we have to (re)build bridges and dig tunnels under the river? Whether the tunnels straddle the current ones or whether they're going to be set some distance away isn't the big cost factor, is it?

The remark Spider-Pig made was:

"I disagree. Placing both tunnels on one side of the existing tunnels is simpler as both tunnels can share construction staging."

My response was:

Right, throw away several billion dollars to save on the cost of a couple of $250,000 each temporary construction access bridges.

The key words in my response were temporary and access.
