The contractor building a £116m guided busway in Cambridgeshire fears the costs will over-run.
The 16-mile (25km) busway, which links Huntingdon, St Ives and Cambridge, is due to be completed by next April.

November this year:-
Quote:
The launch of a £116m guided busway in Cambridgeshire has been delayed after inspections revealed some work was still to be done.
The handover and opening of the St Ives to Cambridge busway was expected in November but is not now likely before the end of the year.
More work is needed to get the project up to the required standard, Cambridgeshire County Council said.

The original price agreed for the engineering works conducted by BAM Nuttall had been £88 million—estimates in mid-February 2010 projected cost-runs on the Nuttall contract to have increased to £120–140 million.
Later that month Cambridgeshire County Council stated that the council was due to borrow £41 million during 2010 and then £10.2 million the year after, payable to BAM Nuttall in order to complete the project.
