"Who paid for it!" "Who profits off of it?" Typical american reactions to anything good. Congrat's Finland ( a country where I'd quite like to be)!

    Bridges are usually slow traffic. Thus you can get all your money back quicker if a shit ton of people walk thru in mass. It will be $$$$, length of human $$$$ vs. $$$$ length of car $$$$. You could even charge less and make more money.
