flag Congress investigates California's high-speed rail project over cost overruns and delays.

flag Congress is investigating California's high-speed rail project due to delays and cost overruns, now estimated at $89 billion to $128 billion, up from the original $33 billion projected in 2008. flag The Oversight Committee is seeking documents to check if misleading information was provided to secure federal funds, including $4 billion from the Biden administration. flag Despite the challenges, a recent poll shows 62% of California voters still support the project, which aims to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles. flag However, the project faces a $3.8 billion loss over 40 years on the Merced-Bakersfield line and a $8.6 billion funding gap to reach Merced.
