"I feel happy today I feel his spirit is with us and I know he is smiling you know because the bridge is completed and they named it his name and we are very happy about it because this is a remembrance for the children so they could recognise his work, his hard work, he works so hard for the communities and town and he always told me about this bridge that one day it would be completed and today it is completed and we are very happy about it."

"Well I feel good. I feel that it's long overdue it has been years now that we have been clamouring for a new bridge especially a two way bridge to Punta Gorda Town, I have seen quite a bit of incidents and stuff being here at the marina you see where vehicles they literally crash into the bridge I've seen vehicles run off into the river, into the creek and ive seen motorcycle accidents on this thing but I am hoping that people adhere to the speed limit and we can utilise this bridge in the best possible way and we continue to save lives and keep people alive here because at the end of the day this bridge enhances what Toledo has to offer I can see people coming in just the drive going out you get the view of that ocean so I am happy that this bridge is being built."
