At the western end sits the I-395 Signature Bridge, six concrete arches that were meant to<\/a> \u201credefine the Miami skyline.\u201d The state awarded<\/a> the contract to build in 2017; the project is now expected to be completed sometime in 2029. Over this period, the price has climbed<\/a> from $802 million to $866 million. The contractor is suing<\/a> its own designer and insurer for $400 million.
