How much does the extension of Osaka — Monorail — Monorail extension cost?

The Osaka Monorail extension is the 8.9 km extension of the Saito Line from Kadoma-shi Station toward Uryudo Station in Osaka, Japan, with five new stations, under construction with the opening postponed by four years from fiscal 2029 to about 2033 because softer ground than expected forced changes to the construction method. Kansai City Lab reported on 24 April 2024 that the infrastructure part of the project cost rose by about JPY 65 billion from about JPY 78.6 billion to about JPY 143.6 billion.
