The Big Dig was projected to cost $2.6 billion. The final price tag was nearly $15 billion, and it was 8 years behind schedule.
Seattle’s viaduct replacement project was expected to cost $3.1 billion. Right now, the Washington State Department of Transportation has budgeted $3.3 billion. It is 3 years behind schedule.
