Title: A Bridge Too Far
Eligibility: Have cars? Not be landlocked?
Description: After five years of hard work and billions of @@currency@@ invested, a recent hurricane in @@NAME@@ has destroyed the incomplete @@TYPE@@ Bridge, intended to finally connect @@capital@@ with distant @@animal@@ City to the east. Corporate stooges and @@animal@@ City residents alike have infested your office, demanding for the government’s assistance in resuming construction on the bridge.
[option]”With the loss of progress on the @@TYPE@@ bridge, we are three years behind schedule” says @@randomname@@, CEO, CFO and COO of Build-a-Bridge Enterprises, LLP, “However, with a little… government assistance, we may be able to hurry work back on track. Otherwise, who knows? Sometimes these projects can fall years more behind…”
[effect]infrastructure grows only as fast as the government can print extortion money.

[option]”We have no time for these fat-headed architects!” shouts @@animal@@ City resident @@randomnamefemale@@, holding her hometown’s eponymous animal, “Give the bridge contract to the neighborhood associations in @@animal@@ City and we’ll have an army of free volunteers finish the project in no time. We may not be engineers, but we’re sure heart will keep that bridge up!”
[effect]transit systems crumble under the cost-efficiency of civic pride.

[option]"Barnacles, all ya!” proclaims Captain One-Eye of the @@capital@@ Ferry from outside your door, after paying his yearly vessel registration in a nearby office, “If ya gave a few @@currency@@ more a yar’ to the local ferries, we’d move twice ‘em people ‘cross the water than a crinkly ol’ bridge. As a matt’ of fact, why don’t we ban all ‘em bridges? Sure it would hurt ‘em car makers, but I’d get a lot more ships to sail.” He looks longingly at the harbor out your window, “Admiral One-Eye, I like thar sound of that…”
[effect]hang-gliding, the ferry fleet and jumping are the most popular methods of crossing water.
