Blue Route costs double in two years in Harrisburg
In Harrisburg the Blue Route cost estimate more than doubled from 225 million in late 1985 to about 450 million. Since 1956 costs rose from 30 million to 77 million by 1963, with inflation and environmental reviews driving the latest increase. The plan includes 2.9 miles of road, a diamond interchange at Baltimore Pike, 14 bridges, a bikeway, and noise barriers. A contract bid is due after permits and a two month review, with opening of bids for four more contracts between July 15 and September 15 and aim to open sections in 1990.
