Scope creep to orbit:
“Budget escalation: The initial budget was €37 million, but the final cost has grown to around €480 million.”
Astounding though it is it sounds like it may have been stone souped.
Belgium is not exactly low on corruption...
One hundred kilometers from there, there is this station: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%C3%A8ge-Guillemins_railway_...
by the same architect, and budget exploded as well...
So either local governments or Calatrava is messing around :-/
