What economic giant came up with this idea? *It's clearly the same sort of brain that saddled us with trillions in national debt.
The bridge opens a few times each day at best. In low season sometimes not at all. Each time someone walks over, checks the traffic, opens it, waits for the boats and then closes it. Let me exaggerate and call this an hours work each day.

This really is a solution to something that isn't a problem.
