The answer to funding a new bridge like this is a P3 project, but due to the corrupt nature of our politicians that would be an absolute failure here.

This is the only way a new bridge will get built. Using traditional Fed/State funding, the state share would be in the range of an entire year of allocated bridge funding INCLUDING the federal share.

According to the OP, we could raise $800M over 20 years with his plan. That would not fund a project to build a new bridge with approach highways if we had it today. Apply simple inflation for 20 years and you're chasing a carrot at the end of a stick.
