There is one bright spot in the December “termination for convenience” of the main contracting joint venture on the Boston area’s Green Line Extension light-rail project: No one is pointing fingers at the contractor as the key culprit behind the project’s soaring cost, which currently is $700 million to $1 billion over its roughly $2-billion budget.
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority terminated for its convenience contracts for the over-budget Green Line expansion project for principal contractor White-Skanska-Kiewit and project manager HDR/Gilbane.
