Drew-Ski, keep in mind that $6 Billion is also for improvements from the Rose Quarter to past the SR500 interchange, plus light rail, plus pedestrian and bicycle access, plus land acquisition. The actual bridge with no frills is only about a billion, so you will see something in between those numbers. I'd also expect the feds and each state to chip in at least 3/4 of the total cost leaving tolls at about $3 a trip, which I think is appropriate, less if they toll the 205 bridge too.
