Good thing it isn’t to be built in Oklahoma or it would never get done. Arkansas ranks about third in a 27 state survey in state highway project on time and on budget work believe it or not. Oklahoma is about dead last. Oklahoma can turn any year-long project into at least 5. I’ve seen trees sprout and grow on Oklahoma road projects.
I thought for a foolish moment they were talking about fixing the Garrison Street bridge and the stretch of US 64 from there to I-40. The interchange at I-40 has been the same mess of topsy turvy broken concrete for decades. Disgusting. It isn’t rocket science to fix a little pavement.
Oklahoma has closed rest areas for ages since they can’t seem to control the faggots and prostitutes. Ought to round them all up, shoot them and bury them on the roadside with backhoes.
Oklahoma just declared a project to fix several hundred bridges and 800 miles of road. It will all fall apart before they get 1/4 of it finished. Of course the next question is what are they going to pay for it with? From all the oil production in the state over the decades the producers get off just about scott free and add to the road destruction.
Oklahoma specializes in corrupt and ignorant. Their only claims to fame are negatives: Most obese list, most opiate deaths list, most divorces list etc. Some great people but a lousy state. Crossing the state line from just about any neighboring state, especially Missouri and Texas, is like entering a hundreds of miles long speed bump.
The corruption is probably one reason why State House Republicans are losing special elections in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, the opposition party is, of course, Democrats.
