The four-year, $376 million construction project is being supervised by the General Services Administration (GSA), which says the work is needed to upgrade underground utilities such as water and sewer lines and electrical conduits. [...]
The congenitally suspicious White House press corps speculates endlessly on what really is being built. One theory is that a tunnel, visible in the construction, is an underground escape route for the president between the West Wing and the adjoining office building. Not so, says the GSA. “The structure is a utility access pathway,” Ms. Merriam says.
