Despite recent milestones, such as tunnel boring machines Eileen and Florence making progress, the projects leaders attribute the delays and cost increases to high labor costs and the complexity of the underground power station. Critics suggest the total cost could reach forty-two billion dollars, but officials maintain its not that high. The federal government remains committed to completing the project by late 2028, aiming to store solar and wind power for future use.
