A grand and intimidating bridge

[…] Haven't the Masters hinted that they would prefer it to remain somewhat inaccessible? Or, on the contrary, have they indicated they'd like to be able to send shipments there easily?

Description summary:
The rest of the text varies based on your board members.

April on the board?First paragraph of Description
NoThe bridge will be beautiful, glorious, a miracle of engineering, and very very high above the lava.
YesApril has personally drawn up the specifications for the bridge. They are magnificently drawn, and the Correspondence sigils on the underside describe how each arc of the span must conform in shape to certain heavenly motions.
The Wandering Gondolier on the board?First part of the second paragraph of Description
NoUnfortunately, some members of the board take this opportunity to raise fresh objections to heading in this direction at all.
YesThe Wandering Gondolier chooses this, of all times, to say he thinks the GHR should not stop here. Station VIII is not on the canals, but one hears rumours about people being squashed flat by a giant factory machine.
The Efficient Commissioner on the board?Second part of the second paragraph of Description
NoIs it wise to stop at that location?
YesThe Efficient Commissioner looks even more queasy than usual.
Feducci on the board?Third paragraph of Description
NoThe conversation devolves into a rowdy exchange of gossip, rumour, and innuendo about who is most likely to be in a Master's pocket.
YesFeducci accuses you of being in Mr Fires' pocket, and adds some unnecessary observations about what it probably smells like inside Fires' robe.
Virginia on the board?Fourth paragraph of Description
NoFinally you manage to remind everyone that the stops of the railway have long since been decided, and that all that now remains is to choose the route.
YesFinally Virginia clears her throat, and in her best ex-Mayor style reminds everyone that the stops of the railway have long since been voted on and the old minutes may be inspected if anyone wishes. The current question is of far more limited scope.
