LOS ANGELES BRIDGE TO NOWHERE

Los Angeles’s so‑called “Bridge to Nowhere”—the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway—was originally presented in 2022 as a $92 million project, with $54 million in state funding and assurances from state leaders that it could be completed with roughly $10 million more, targeting a 2025 completion date. Since then, delays, inflation, labor costs, and design changes have pushed the total price to about $114 million, making it more than $21 million over budget, with approximately $77 million coming from taxpayers and the remainder from private donors; completion is now expected in late 2026, fueling criticism that the project has become a symbol of cost overruns and weak fiscal oversight in Los Angeles infrastructure spending.  Do you, or someone you know have an inside information where or how these funds went?  If so, we want to hear your comments/thoughts below.
