That's a moronic comment, but I'm more interested in how it would supposedly be more expensive not to build the bridge than it would be to build the bridge.

And what they've 'already spent' £40m on.

I'd imagine it'd be various legal problems buying themselves out of contracts with construction companies etc.

Khan said that scrapping the Thames crossing would waste almost £40m of public money already spent. He said £37.7m of the £60m pledged by Transport for London (TfL) and the government had already been spent. If the project was scrapped now, this amount would be lost in full. If built, the Bridge’s Trust would repay a £20m loan from TfL, plus £22m in VAT to the Treasury, meaning taxpayers would have paid £18m towards the scheme.

interesting comment
This high court challenge is intended to do nothing except delay the project. If it succeeds, all it will do is waste more money. Londoners spoke when they elected a pro-bridge Mayor. - its a shame a tiny minority don't respect this mandate.
