Here some questions and assumptions a poor confused Raven has had to make due to lack of information.

Budget - there's no newer details on the construction budget (now around $192 million) since the original 2010 package that was released.

I'm assuming none of the additional $10 million announced in Dec 2011 will go bond payments or ferry/iceroad costs. I'm also assuming that none of the costs below are included in it, either.

the capital costs of the tolling system will be at least $1 million, as previously indicated, for some sort of camera/electronic identification system.

there is no public guidance on annual toll collection costs. I'm assuming a few hundred thousand dollars a year until better info is available.

This article is currently incomplete. BridgeWiki will eventually improve by expanding it.

-*'''Equity''' - The bonds provided $165.4 million, and the GNWT appropriated another $15.9 million.  That pretty much equals the $181.4 million construction budget.  But there was [[INAC contribution|$1.4 million from the feds]] which was apparently transferred to the GNWT.
