Just like Boston’s “Big Dig”
The Big Dig was estimated during Reagan’s time at $2.4 Billion. Tip O’Neil had the votes to override Reagan’s veto. Ended up costing $14 Billion. So roughly 5X its original estimate. If this ONLY doubles, its almost like on budget.
It sure does make getting through downtown Boston easier. As long as there isn’t an accident in the tunnel. Or a roofing tile doesn’t break off and fall on your car.
within 1 week of starting work on the 520 Floating Bridge across Lake Washington, it was determined that the concrete floating piers were not designed correctly. The State issued a change order for over $400,000,000 within 2 weeks
Or Jerry Brown’s electric train.
