Federal auditors are looking at the Port of Anchorage expansion project.

The Anchorage Daily News (http://bit.ly/p3EENF) says auditors are headed to Anchorage this month to conduct interviews.

The expansion is stalled because of construction complications and too little money.

One of the issues auditors will be looking at is cost overruns.

The estimated costs of the project have tripled since 2005 to about $1.2 billion.

The federal Maritime Administration, which is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation, is taking the lead role in the project but the municipality would like more oversight.
