The city of West Palm Beach is suing federal agencies over a planned extension of State Road 7, claiming the project could harm endangered species and pollute public drinking water.

West Palm Beach claims the permitting process for the project, approved in July by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overlooked environmental concerns.
