- groby_b 9mo agoDepends, do we care about TCO? Also, can I pick the set of bridges I compare? OK, kidding aside: If you deeply care, you can probably mine the Federal Highway Administration's bridge construction database: https://fhwaapps.fhwa.dot.gov/upacsp/tm?transName=MenuSystem&action=buildHTML https://fhwaapps.fhwa.dot.gov/upacsp/tm?transName=MenuSystem... I don't think the question is answerable in a meaningful way. Bridges are one-off projects with long life spans, comparing cost over time requires a lot of squinting just so.
