It's a bridge. Most people going over them are pissed they are stuck in traffic not admiring the style of the bridge. Ask people if they want to pay $2 for a steel box beam or $4 for a truss what answer will you get? Form follows function and cost trumps all. We paid $100MM extra for the "glory" of a grand bridge for the artery project to cross an 80' river. Now everyone on here complains daily about the poor condition of the MBTA. $100 million fixes a lot of track problems. Spend wisely and you will find things working better.
