Port of Los Angeles officials failed to advise city of huge cost overruns on terminal project

Los Angeles port officials admitted Tuesday they erred by failing to inform elected officials earlier about skyrocketing costs on a major container terminal upgrade.
The cost of the planned 173-acre TraPac terminal upgrade at the Port of Los Angeles has more than doubled over the past four years. The project was approved in 2009 at a cost of $245 million, but is now estimated at $510.4 million, according to a report by Harbor Department officials.
