@jacob@social.jacobian.org this specific question is really interesting and my hunch was that it would be a surprisingly high %, so, let's see: https://en.as.com/latest_news/when-was-san-franciscos-golden-gate-bridge-built-and-how-much-did-it-cost-n/#:~:text=The%20Golden%20Gate%20Bridge%20in%20San%20Francisco%20was%20constructed%20from%20January%201933%20to%20May%201937.%20The%20project%20cost%20approximately%20$35%20million%2C%20which%20is%20equivalent%20to%20around%20$666%20million%20in%20today’s%20dollars. says the golden gate cost $35MM ($666MM inflation-adjusted for 2024) to build; https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/s-f-golden-gate-bay-bridge-operate-costs-18221920.php claims $103MM to operate in 2024. If we were to just flatten that out, that would put the maintenance share of the TCO at 93% as of this writing :)
