The Boston tunnel system (two tunnels -Summner and Ted Williams-, Zakim Bridge, a shite ton of roadway) started out at 3b and wound up at over 20b - that was close to 20 years ago now.

Recent construction that is comparable to the upcoming Baltimore project is The Mario Cuomo Bridge (I'll still call it the Tappan Zee). It came in at 4b, is 3 miles long and took 7 years to complete.


I figure the the grift for Baltimore will be strong and mission creep will include shite that isn't even related to the bridge. My guess: 10b and 5yrs, minimum cost and time to build. Which prolly means expect 25b and 10 years...

I worked up in that area for two years and it always looked the same driving by it every day. I finished working on a million sq ft construction project before they did anything noticeable
