Upgrades to Adler Road double the cost

An amendment recently approved by the City Council to the Adler Road expansion and drainage project is doubling the original estimated cost.

That authorization will increase the contract amount from about $1.6 million to $3.2 million, officials said.

City Engineer Abigail Knott told the council during a May 14 session “additional design and construction phase support ... is a necessary enhancement” to the project.
