Will PA cut costs on WTC hub?

The Port Authority dropped Phoenix Constructors to take advantage of
falling construction costs in building the World Trade Center transportation hub, but the Post says it will be interesting to
see if the authority gets competitive bids low enough to keep the
already over-budget project within its $3.2 billion estimate. The
authority has spent or committed about $1 billion of that sum to jobs
already underway. Christopher Ward, the Port Authority’s executive director, said the three biggest construction jobs in building the transportation hub will soon be bid out. The jobs include bringing the structure up to street level, building the permanent box for the No. 1 subway line, and constructing the above-ground winged “oculus” of the terminal facade.
