State of tunnel will delay REM
La Presse has got hold of a report saying the state of the tunnel under Mount Royal will mean two additional years and millions in added costs to bring the tunnel up to modern safety standards.
Like much of the new stuff about the REM, this problem was signalled years in advance. It should not have sneaked up on the project now if every newspaper reader in the city knew about it in 2010.

CDPQInfra claims everything is on time. So is this just the struggle between a contractor and the contractee for more money and more time? Or was the tender rushed so that the contractor can now ask more money and more time for issues that were known in advance of making the contract?
