Inauguration. possibly one reason the trump administration has put repairing the bridge high on the list of infrastructure projects. so it will cost $250 million to repair the bridge. what are we going to get for that? >> they will get the span replaced. >> it is important to our past and future. >> this is not just another piece of infrastructure. this is the bridge that symbolically connects our aoun onand holds it together and needs to be saved. >> he says we need the memorial bridge now more...
