How much did the St Elmo Bridge in Valletta, Malta cost to build?
The St Elmo Bridge in Valletta, Malta, is a 70-metre single-span steel footbridge, 5.5 metres wide and about 190 tonnes, linking Fort St Elmo to the Grand Harbour breakwater on the site of an earlier bridge badly damaged in the Second World War. It was designed by the Spanish architects Arenas & Asociados, fabricated in A Coruña, built by Vassallo Builders from 2009, and inaugurated on 24 July 2012 by the Minister for Infrastructure Austin Gatt. Wikipedia gives the project cost as EUR 2.8 million, citing a page of the lighting contractor Calleja Limited that could not be opened.
