Old project new bridge??

i've read an article that talk about new bridge to replace 'Tambak Johor' at Malaysia side..
as i'm recalled, this issues has been a hot topic since i was in the primary school, when Tun Mahathir firstly announce the project in 5 July 1996, 2 years before the big economical problems of the world.
And now, after a new prime minister take place, this issue has been taken out again..
from my oppinion here, what is the consuensus from this project is to increase the import income of Malaysia..
and i alao think that this project is a best way to project Malaysian economy during the time of the economical strain now..
and i'd listened to some rumours said that if the bridge is done, most of the cargo ship will going through the bridge as the bridge is elevated high enough to allow big ship to pass under.
and aftermath of this project, we will see a big increasing economical transaction to Malaysian.
and Singapore will suffer the lost of most of the ships and maybe need to import the cargo ported in Malaysian shipping port.. well, it is a big bridge, and Tun surely have a big mind..
