> It comes from the workers' work.

I disagree. The workers' work is the cost of building the bridge. The value comes from the infrastructure's utility / ROI.

If we assemble a group of workers to build some useless infrastructure, say a bridge connecting nowhere to nothing that won't be used by anyone, we just effectively handed out money to this group of workers (for their time) without adding any real value to the economy.
