Didn't our airport tunnel cost $400 million? We should hire these guys next time...

I think that's the engineering fees. The tunnel is 1.5 km long and has a 50 m high roof which is quite unique in tunnel construction, so I have my doubts it can be built for less than $1 billion.
I mean, feel free to find a source that confirms that is the
construction cost, and I'll stand corrected. Otherwise, for a complex project like this, for consulting fees that might not be crazy.
EDIT: Clearly proven to be construction cost below. Nice.
