re: Why Not Tunnels?

Yeah this is the type of stuff I want to discuss becaus like I said, on the surface it seemed logical without more information than I had. There are just so many variables. Someone earlier suggested perhaps the price of labor was cheaper back then which I guess makes sense. I would have thought that we might have gone in the opposite direction on cost though with efficiencies over time. Like Elon Musks Boring company. The whole thing is about tunneling for less. I thought that if the purchasing power of the amount they spent on the GWT was about $294M today, perhaps it might be cheaper with new technologies and efficiencies.... or close to the same amount since it’s deeper and more challenging here vs there in Mobile. Regardless, a $900M cushion seems like a big buffer.
