It was planned to amortize the bonds over a 20year period. The traffic over this bridge in its first year of operation was so satisfactory that had it continued it would have been possible to completely pay out this bridge in 12 years.

But the fact that I am stressing is this. that the Bluewater Bridge operating primarily on tourist travel more than substantiates the 26percent- increase to be expected when a bridge supplants ferry traffic. Therefore.
