Wow. When they told me the permitting for a bridge of that size, that means we're talking like a two mile long bridge. Permitting alone could take two and a half years. We got it done in months. We are making historic progress on something like this. And if you look at a bridge like the Gordy Howe Bridge, for example, you know, they started that in 2007, about the same size bridge. (31:01–31:06)

CLAIM

Asserts that the permitting process for a bridge was expedited from the usual two and a half years to a few months.
