Assessing the value of the negative effects of closing the trestle bridge: Method 1-Óthe worthÓ of having the bridge.
Assume steel alloy is only way of having uninterrupted service.
P =  $191,524 is thus minimum PV of having 50 years of uninterrupted service.

P = R(USPW)
Pab = $191,524 = R (USPW i=0.06, n=50)
      = $191,524 =R(15.762)
          $191,524/15.762 =$12,150 = annual value of having a bridge, so monthly
value of having bridge = $12,150/12 = $1013

P = $1013 (SPPW i=0.06, n=25)
   = $1013 (0.233) = $236
Hence, the negative effect of being without a bridge for 1 month 25 years from now would have present value of at least $236
