The Flagler bridge was built in 1938. Bridges then were built for a 50-year life. We certainly got a lot out of it.

We hope to deliver the same type of bridge.

I am where I am because of the bridges that I crossed. Sojourner Truth was a bridge. Harriet Tubman was a bridge. Ida B. Wells was a bridge. Madame C. J. Walker was a bridge. Fannie Lou Hamer was a bridge.

I can build many roads and bridges, but if I don't build a road or bridge for the future of our children, they will go nowhere.

If safety were a paramount concern those two other bridges would've been down by now. You can't build this bridge without doing something to everybody in this room.

If you do not build bridges, precipices become your fate!
