The amount is nearly $100 million less than the $220.9 million that McKee had advocated for in Washington, D.C. last week, but McKee and Sen. Jack Reed are still calling the grant money a"win" for the state, according to WJAR. WJAR reports that the Rhode Island Department of Transportation is estimating the cost of the project to be over $470 million, including $58.2 million to demolish the bridge and $368.3 million for the design and building process. Another $46 million would be for other emergency expenses.
