That work force seemed to be lacking in diversity. All involved need to be forced into diversity train courses while the EPA conducts a 5 year, $40 million dollar environmental impact study. Another 5 years of squabbling over an endangered salamander in the river will tack on another $20 million. Then the project will get handed over to the Bechtel Corporation in a no bid contract. After massive delays and cost overruns due to 'unforeseen circumstances', the new bridge will completed, only to be deemed worthless by the locals because it will only accommodate vehicle traffic. Officials will explain that there are no footpaths because no one brought it up during the 'comment' period 17 years earlier.
