Toll roads have become a way of providing roading when the state don't want to pay so I cant see why one cant have toll bridges as well.

Hold on, thanks to the Greens and animal lovers I've lost my live cattle export to China.
Queen Ursula (am sure I spelled her last name wrong but I don't give a s..t) of the ever useless E.U. she's also German.
Things will change very quickly when the west gets screwed over but not before. Just like they threw turnbull under the bus, they will do the same to this idiot when the time is right.
Which is why they are stupid for not learning from history. Things are not the same as it is in the past and it would take only a few for crisis (with the USA under going a mass of cyber attacks all targeting their grids) to really bring things down in the USA. And that is when the entire game will change and not in the favour of the west any more

If you have been to any third world countries, in my case indonesia, you will see not many is willing to pay to use toll roads, most will prefer to use alternative roads bypassing said toll roads/bridges, thus defeating the purpose of building the roads and bridges in the first place
In NZ its all good. Just leave a few dollars in a road toll account and cameras capture the number plate Number.Time and fuel costs savings justify the dollars spent.

You talking about first world country whose citizens can afford to pay "few dollars" to use toll road
Most third world countries citizens survive on less than five dollars a day
this infrastructure plan is supposed to be for developing world aka third world countries not first world countries
I agree with what you are saying about infrastructure development in 3rd world countries. However Stranglove in saying "regardless of any country" is to what I was replying.

The idea of the West's green alternative to China's Belt and Road is a scam in itself. It's undoubtedly going to cost more so are they expecting these countries to pay the bill? And then some Western environmental tech company will be winning the lottery getting all the money to produce this technology for said poor country the West ignored for decades and they'll be indebted to the West to obey.
Yeah, just like the onerous Malampaya deal that Ansy 1968 referred to, where the Phillipines have to stump up all the costs for 12% of the revenue with Shell getting the rest. There are no limits to the guiles from the West.
