The eastern span tower OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY BRIDGE in May 2015. In April 2006, a consortium involving American Bridge and Fluor won the tower contract. It was built in China to save money—a decision that carried its own costs when inspectors later found poor welding and busted bolts at key points that required fixing. THE FINAL COST OF $6.4 billion doesn’t include interest or financing costs. With those costs included, some expect the total price to double to $13 billion.(Kai Friis / Flickr)
