The Corps of Engineers expects to have a new estimate within the next week or two on both a projected timeline for completion and cost estimate for the Kentucky Lock Addition Project.In a presentation to the Inland Waterways Users Board on April 20, Stephanie Hall, deputy district engineer for the Nashville Engineer District, explained a cost increase and expected schedule extensions. The Corps is completing an updated cost and schedule risk analysis that will help quantify those amounts. The analysis is typically done every two years and was last completed in 2020. It is expected to be complete in mid-May.Part of the work will include an expanded value engineering study in which the Corps will look to see if there are design alternatives that would create efficiencies, reducing the price of the overall project, and recommend opportunities to decrease the construction duration. |
