The cost to build a wildlife overpass over Rio Verde Drive near 128th Street could come in millions less than first predicted.
Initial project estimates were around $35 million, but that may be overshooting the mark by about $4 million, according to a recent report by Phoenix-based engineering firm Kimley-Horn, which was hired to do a feasibility of the project.
The report, presented to the city’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve Commission Nov. 5, puts the total price of project (adjusted for inflation) at $30.8 million.
