<p>The current estimated cost of the A1 roadworks close to Gamston Airfield is forecast
to be £13.6m, which is £6.2m higher than the original £7.4m target cost. The project
is also expected to finish around October 2015, a slip of three months. This reflects
significant problems that were encountered during the course of the works. The contract
was constructed on a ‘pain or gain’ basis, so the contractor will have to absorb a
significant share of the cost increase. This, and any other penalties, will be calculated
on completion of the works, when all costs are known.</p>
