 The delay was continually justified by the illegally built, shabby shack-like object on bridge's route, which took way too long to get demolished.Apart from the retroactively invented phase 2, the constructors also retroactively, in 2020, named other reasons for delay.They included problems with the foundations which had to be re-projected not to damage the lashings used for the construction of the embankment's fortification in 1914, and the tunnel to the fortress which the contractors claim was discovered when they were digging a hole for the engine of the fountain.
