Global News also just did a piece on the bridge and said the budget hasn't changed and Graham Construction are on the hook for the delays.

I think I read in the Herald article that Graham may (read will) try to recover costs for the delays due to "city inspections"
It is unclear to me who is to blame for failed inspections. Spanish welders caused Graham to sit idle for months? Was there writing in the contract that stipulated the welds had to meet the inspections that failed? or did the city throw that in after the fact?
Anyways, I smell lawsuits from this, so it maybe a bit early to know what the end cost will be. What a mess.
I however, am looking forward to seeing this bridge after all this extra wait. It will also functionally help me walk to work faster from my house. Seeing as I have not driven to work and used the roads/lights/transit my taxes pay for for 7 years now, should be great to get some value back. Or should that money have gone to more free sewer hookups in Auburn Bay?
