→ Bridges spanning large bodies of water allow for faster travel than other existing transport such as ferries.
→ This results in greater work productivity due to faster commuting. People will also have greater opportunity to work and recreate on both sides of the bridge.
Other advantages could include:
→ Greater use of major infrastructure like hospitals, schools and stadiums
→ Train lines can be constructed on the bridge to allow for extra mass transit
→ Reduction in existing transport on the harbour such as ferries
→ Potential increase in leisure time
