$6.4 billion!
That's over $1 BILLION per kilometer,
$1.73B per mile.
And these are PROJECTED numbers.
ACTUAL numbers will easily make this project 25-50% more expensive, increasing the final tab to anywhere from $8 billion to $9.6 billion.

And I'm willing to bet it will actually be more. Just because.
