Alderman on massive cost increase for bridge over the IJ: "I also had to swallow hard"

Amsterdam's Alderman for Mobility, Elise Moeskops, expressed shock over reports that the projected cost of the new bridge over the IJ has nearly tripled, potentially reaching 850 million euros. Originally estimated at 340 million euros, the price hike was revealed in negotiation documents and described by Moeskops as a significant blow to the coalition's plans. The alderman intends to discuss the financial implications with regional partners before finalizing the next steps later this year.
