There are lots of bridges and you'll have to make all of them four lanes.
That's going to take fifty years.
It's a pork barrel policy.
"We'll pour an extra billion dollars a year into Fulton Hogan's (etc) coffers" doesn't sound as good.
The amazing thing about this country is how the population doesn't perceive the corruption right in front of their faces.
For ~45% it doesn't matter because it's their "side" doing it.
