How much did Tsakona Arch Bridge cost to build?

The Tsakona Arch Bridge is a 490 m road bridge with a 300 m main arch span carrying the four-lane A7 Moreas motorway across the unstable Tsakona valley near Megalopoli in Arcadia, Greece. The contract was awarded in 2006 to the TERNA-Alpine joint venture with a budget of EUR 94 million and a completion horizon of 2009; two supplementary contracts in 2010 and 2012 covered extra work, Alpine went bankrupt in 2013 and TERNA finished it, and Kathimerini reported the final cost as EUR 131.5 million in December 2015, about EUR 64 million of it financed with EU funds. It opened to traffic in early 2016.
