If I'm not mistaken, the I-73 thing has been talked about for 15 years. At least.
How long did it take for the entire original Interstate system to be planned and built back in the 50s and 60s?

We talk about and plan things, simple things, for YEARS. Our ancestors actually DID things.
It actually took 40 years to complete the original interstate system. I-10, for example, was not completed until 1992.
The “blue route” through Philadelphia was actually built - and NIMBY people, some with real beefs, held up its opening for what? Probably another decade . . .
