Episode Details

The final stretch of Miami’s Underline project just got a $2.25 million budget boost, pushing the total contract to $8.25 million and adding 270 days to the timeline. This isn’t the first cost hike—phase three already saw an $8 million jump last December, funded by grants and county money for upgrades like Wi-Fi and tree protection. Some commissioners, including Oliver Gilbert, are frustrated, arguing the county is essentially funding infrastructure managed by others. Officials say this latest funding covers ongoing work at the active construction site and expect no further increases for this final 7-mile leg. Originally projected at $100 million in 2016, the project now sits at $140 million—with the last phase still under construction.
