An inquiry by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport revealed that the project costs for building the Shin-Wakato Highway in Kitakyushu with a tunnel under the Dokai Bay have soared from an originally projected 69 billion yen to 100 billion yen. The construction is being jointly conducted by the national government and the city, but the additional 31 billion yen in construction costs will be borne by the national government, including 8 billion yen in redesign expenses. The problems were caused by such problems as inadequate preliminary inspections and a series of construction errors.
