Excitement as i've come to realize is very relative. Usually, people get excited for the birth of a new child; for a family member or friend who has graduated into another stage in life; for someone who has beaten cancer; but for a bridge though? *side eye* Now, don't get me wrong, I think development is a good thing and it's the duty of those in power to ensure that the citizens are given the best possible outcome in projects done but here me out. How does building a new bridge create such excitement whereby there becomes what seems to be somewhat of a second session of carnival for the year? It's just a bridge... Moreover, was the previous bridge in such a bad state that it had to be replaced? No... believe it or not the previous bridge was very much useful and in a good state and the only reason why the new bridge was built, was to enhance the look of the Capital city. Outside of that... what's the excitement? I believe, if you pay taxes for road building, these things should happen right or wrong? and thus the excitement level should be just in approval because this is what should be done. Or are we at a stage here in the Caribbean where even building bridges are seen as an accomplishment? Take a listen to what the audience has to say about it.
