Estimated cost for failed Durham-Orange light rail line nears $159M
Although it was abandoned earlier this year months before construction was even scheduled to begin, the now defunct Durham-Orange Light Rail project is expected to cost North Carolina taxpayers more than $158 million before it's officially closed out in 2020. GoTriangle previously said the figure was $130 million.
