The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has taken over management of a Veterans Affairs Department hospital construction project in Aurora, Colo., according to an article on the Modern Healthcare website.
The project, originally set at $328 million, is now expected to cost $1.73 billion.
The hospital is being built as a joint venture between Kiewit Corp. and Turner Construction Co. and those contractors expressed confidence in its future.
While the Corps will assume a major role in the construction execution for Aurora Hospital, the VA, as the project's proponent, is still responsible for project requirements.
