I was wondering had they started the new new bridge so I was disappointed to find out it was work on the old new bridge.

Come on people even I call it the new bridge, the rest of our bridges are hundreds of years old and it's going to be like that for years to come

We just call it "the bridge" normally. Have always said the Quincentennial bridge if referring to it by name however.
