The White House is pausing and possibly canceling eleven billion
dollars in Army Corps of Engineer projects for cities like Boston,
which could impact the projects to replace the Cape bridges.
(01:32):
The announcement came yesterday from the Office of Management and
Budget Director Russ Vote, though he did not specify which
projects would be shut down. The Army Corps of Engineers
is in charge of maintaining and managing both the Born
and Sagamore bridges, which are set to be replaced for
around four and a half billion dollars. In a joint statement,
(01:54):
Governor Mora Heally, Senators Elizabeth Warren and At Markey, and
Congressman Bill Keating say that replace the bridges is essential
for Cape cod residents and visitors, and that the project
is moving forward with funds approved by a bipartisan Congress
that were lawfully awarded by the federal government. We have
reached out to the Army Corps of Engineers to find
(02:14):
out which projects would be impacted, but if not heard back.
