First it was Harbour Clean Up--with a cost over-run of nearly 20 million dollars--and now the project to reconstruct Rothesay Road is also over budget. City staff say the installation of sanitary sewer and storm sewers, along with reconstructing and paving Rothesay Road will cost 300 thousand dollars more than was planned for. Galbraith Construction has been awarded the tender for 2.8 million dollars.
300 thousand of the 400 thousand dollars set aside for the Howes Lake Landfill Closure will be used to offset the cost. Councillor Bill Farren says it's important to close the Howe's Lake Landfill and the money should not have been diverted to the Rothesay Road project.
