HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced the cost estimate for a flood prevention project in Hawaii has doubled, striking another blow to the effort.
The Corps said a financial analysis on Friday has raised the cost of the Ala Wai Flood Risk Management Project to more than $650 million, which could force it back to the drawing board again, Hawaii News Now reported. It was already redesigned after complaints about major construction in old neighborhoods.
