You specifically requested that we investigate the cost to the Federal Government of (1) completing the construction of the two overpasses and then having them blocked off and not used and (2) terminating the con- struction work and paying whatever damages would be owed to the contractor. Also, you requested us to determine how much oThe-construction already completed would be salvageable if construction were terminated and if, at some future time, it were deemed advisable to renew the construction work. The two overpasses are under construction and are expected to be completed by June 1, 1972. The over- passes are expected to cost about $419,000, of which about $377,000 will be Federal funds. As of March 10, 1972, the Compton Avenue overpass was about 50 percent complete and the Nebraska Avenue overpass was about 40 percent complete. A State highway department official informed us that the overpasses would be opened to traffic when they are completed. This official also stated that, in the event construction were terminated, it would be necessary to demolish the work already completed and that materials already purchased would not be salvageable for use at another location. State highway department and Federal Highway Administration officials and the contractor informed us that the termination cost would be higher than the completion cost. A current estimate of the termination cost was not compiled by these officials or by the contractor. 4 cR0
