When the first 180 miles of the PA Tpke was built between Carlisle and Butler before WW2 it was completed in less than 2 years, one of the few govt projects finished ahead of schedule and under budget. And it entailed building tunnels through the Alleghenies, amazing considering the relatively primitive technology back then. Here in FL they’ve been working on widening a 6 mile stretch of US 19 between Homossassa and Crystal River for the last 6 years and they’re still playing in the dirt. 🤔😖
What we need is more regs and studies to worry about to use up the road building money.
