Nope. That was the original estimate, and we all thought it was a joke, but if you take into consideration the hight needed for the expanse in question of some cable-stay projects (look at Caltrava's in Redding, CA), it makes sense. The High Level is only 48m below the deck to the water, so 150m for a cable-stay isn't out of the question.
