- shagie 4y agoFrom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacArthur_Maze#Rebuilding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacArthur_Maze#Rebuilding > A state projection concluded that the connector collapse had cost $90 million, based on a $6 million per day economic impact estimate. This includes a $491,000 loss in toll revenue for the Oakland Bay Bridge. $200,000 per day bonus vs $6M per day economic impact seems like a incentive that was priced very well for the state.
- koheripbal 4y agoMaybe, but "economic impact" is an extremely vague measure that some analyst just guessed. People obviously found alternate transportation paths or were dealing with their own damage at home anyway. ...but maybe it's correct.
- shagie 4y agoPeople did. But it was things like instead of going from some of the mid to upper parts of the east bay just taking 880 across the bay bridge to instead take the San Mateo bridge and go up 101 instead. A longer trip that took more gas.
