More than £260,000 was spent keeping Poole s Twin Sails Bridge running in the last financial year, £124,000 more than budgeted.
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council is continuing work to resolve problems with the lifting mechanism which emerged in 2018.
BCP said it had also spent £55,166 so far of the £140,500 annual bridge maintenance budget for 2020/21.
But it says, with work continuing, the full cost of repairs is not yet known.
Final repairs to the crossing between Poole and Hamworthy were halted earlier this month amid technical problems.
