[00:00:00]Do you know I built a bridge once?

[00:00:03]Sorry? A bridge.

[00:00:06]I didn't know that.

[00:00:08]I was an engineer by trade.

[00:00:11]Mhm.

[00:00:12]It went from Dills Bottom, Ohio to Moundsville, West Virginia.

[00:00:16]It spanned 912 ft above the Ohio River.

[00:00:19]12,100 people use this thing a day.

[00:00:22]And it cut out 35 mi of extra driving each way between Wheeling and New Martinsville. That's a combined 847,000 mi of driving a day.

[00:00:35]Or 25,410,000 mi a month.

[00:00:40]And 304,000,000 920,000,000 mi a year saved.

[00:00:48]Now, I completed that project in 1986.

[00:00:51]That's 22 years ago.

[00:00:53]So, over the life of that one bridge, that's 6,708,000,000 240,000,000
