“We did not expect settlement two weeks ago. We did not expect settlement last year. We expected to be able to build this bridge adjacent to the old bridge without having any kind of problems at all.

“Of course, that means, what is our level of assurance now? We’ve run numbers again. We’ve done our best engineering. But are we certain? Well, no, we are no longer certain about what is going to happen with this old bridge.’’
