"Most expensive in the world"

I took it apon my self to remove the following line.

"Its toll of $10 to drive across is the most expensive of any bridge in the world.".

It's noted in the article Oresund Bridge that the toll at current exchange rates for a one way trip is more than three times that of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. It's also confirmed in the below link.

What is CBBT

I am uncertain what this CBBT actually is. The intro sentence says The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) is a 23 mile (37 km) long facility that connects, while the Facts and Figures sub-section talkes about islands, bridges, tunnels, without an overall explaination. Note the bridge-tunnel acticle is much clearer and says the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, a 23-mile long structure which crosses the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay with a combination of bridges and tunnels over two widely separated shipping channels, using four man-made islands built in the bay as portals. I will cut-n-paste these words in later, but perhaps it would be better for someone who knows to clarify what CBBT is for this article. Wendell 13:00, 17 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

I assume CBBT is a common abbreviation for Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (the first letters of each word). --Joe Sewell 16:48, 18 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
