this is classic example of how U. S. infrastructure projects are slower and more costly than other countries.
Other countries would shut this down and build then reopen, inconveniencing many. We will spend more and keep this going longer instead.
Another great example is on 101 freeway in california they just finished replacing a bridge in palo alto. They did not shut the freeway down while it was literally replaced from underneath the cars. It took 3 years and caused horrendous traffic daily. I wonder how fast it could have been done if they shut down 101 entirely on that stretch.
i know it’s easy to complain about how long these things take, but what would you rather have?
