We are talking about golf carts after all.
A connection you may be missing is that any new bridge must also have pedestrian access.

It's a relatively small incremental cost within a four billion dollar project to widen into a MMP. Bexley Bridge and West Orange Trail are examples.

Maybe part of the reasons the bonds are so high in that area is to provide funding for the access?
