How much did East-Link cost to build?

The East-Link (Tom Clarke Bridge) is the bascule toll bridge of about 150 m across the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland, linking the North Wall with Ringsend, built in a public-private partnership between Dublin Corporation, Dublin Port and the National Toll Roads company and opened in October 1984 as the country's first toll bridge. RTE Archives says it was built at a cost of 8 million pounds, Irish pounds in 1984, and charged motorists a toll of 30 pence.
