“It would be the world’s longest highway tunnel, running more than 16 miles under Long Island Sound for travelers going between Long Island and New England.
The cost is estimated at $10 billion — and it wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime. A developer wants to build the tunnel with private money, recouping his costs by charging drivers $25 each way and by selling advertising.” More…
Let’s see, $10 billion divided by 25…. He’ll need 40,000,000 cars to break even. (Except for what he’ll make from the ads; plus he’ll have additional expenses.) Sound like a lot of cars? The developer expects 80,000 vehicles a day to use the tunnel, if he’s right, then in just 1,000 days he gets back his 10 billion!
