ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
#11
(02-10-2017, 01:26 PM)Section ThirtyOne Wrote: Nice! I like the proposed alignment.

Question: Why so much more than Phase 1 to build? Is it the two river crossings and required bridges?

One of the reasons is that the cost is being quoted in future dollars and assuming construction of phase 2 taking place 2025-2028. Assuming about 2% inflation, then $1.25B in 2025, would be roughly $1B in today's dollars.
