The Region should have included accounting provisions in its 2022 budget to begin to cover the financial risk represented by the claims of the two groups which built the existing part of the New Coastal Road, estimates the regional audit chamber of Reunion in a report published on December 16. In total, the builders of the large viaduct and the dikes estimate having incurred additional costs of 900 million euros. These requests, usual for the delivery of large public works projects, are described as extravagant by Huguette Bello. Various conciliation and litigation procedures are underway to decide on their admissibility.. The CRC report also points out the imprudent management of the NRL file by the community then chaired by Didier Robert, who chose dike sections when the availability of the necessary materials was not assured.
