Grand Lagood Bridge - Wishful Thinking?

The bridge at Grand Lagoon has needed expansion for quite some time. Currently the opening is 107 feet and is slated to be expanded to 207 feet. In addition there will be two lanes of traffic each way with walkways and bike paths on either side.

Here's the problem: Estimated construction costs have risen from $12.4 million to $18.5 million because of increases in construction costs. It is interesting that the consulting firm for the county on this project seems to be way off on their numbers.
