Although taxpayers and benefactors spent $69 million on London's infamous Garden Bridge, no concrete was ever poured nor any metalwork formed. Planned as a privately financed venture, the project failed to secure enough backing.
The final toll was just revealed by Transport for London (TfL), the city’s transit authority, which itself spent $31 million on the canceled River Thames crossing. The Dept. for Transport’s share was $24 million including a third of it to project owner the Garden Bridge Trust.
