Think about that a second.. we would never start a project today we couldn’t finish in our life time.

Interstate 45 in Houston looked like it was going to take longer than my lifetime to finish.

“Think about that a second.. we would never start a project today we couldn’t finish in our life time.”

Quite so...especially with all these situations that if bill XYZ isn’t passed, the world will blow up tomorrow. Even if there’s a 3-day delay signing it after we agree to pass it.

New York City’s Water Tunnel No. 3 began construction in 1970 and will not be completed until at least 2020. This tunnel was featured in Die Hard with a Vengeance.

I can’t think of any current construction project with a longer schedule. 50 years may not be a lifetime. But it’s close.
