Fuck this shit. I traveled 200 miles today across VA, MD and WV and 5 different fucking times the roads were 1 lane because of road "construction." By construction I mean 10 guys standing around with their thumbs up their asses while one guy digs with a backhoe.
Anyone else notice an increase in road destruction projects in their area?
-
80 which connects sacramento with the san francisco area has be under construction for 10 years and still isnt done.
Las vegas is always under road construction
I dont see anything new around me except the little town next to me has become a haven for meth dealers and crime #'s only seen in the true inner cities yet its full of white trash.
Oh and the largest city next to me has the 3rd highest unemployment in the country.
-
most highway/street construction in CA, at least the la area is done at night.
-
Lots of work in my area. PA is famous for it but they knocked out two bridges and have worked on about 5-6 different spots (including another bridge) on my road alone, and even though this road is like 30 miles long I still traveled it a bit and they were working on 3 different areas each day.
When I went out to Ohio the other day there was construction everywhere, and they even had part of a highway completely blocked off as far as the eye could see.

That applies to all of California
80 which is the only way to get 4 million people around is still a mess and much of it is finally getting car pools
Our car polls also need 3 people to qualify not 2 like in LA

I fuckin love that movie

Come on, it saved all those jobs. Think about it, if there were not 6 stupervisors, the job would never get done right at entry level govt pay
-
My township got a grant or some shit from govt and they been replacing sewer and water lines in front of my friends house. They said theyre going to do the whole long ass road. Going to take 2 years.
Its funny sitting on his porch watching people drive past the ROAD CLOSED signS and stop when they see 2 dumptrucks in either lane and not know where to go. The road is a cut through and sees a lot of traffic.
-
the highway I drive on to work every mourning is 1 lane for fucking pointless construction.
All they are doing is paving the patch of dirt between the sides of the two lane highway for water runoff.
Not even touching the actual road. Fucking waste of money. Stimulus my ass.
-
You blame this on the stimulus, but it's the same as any other summer. Tons of construction to bitch about, and you always see 5 guys standing around watching one or two guys work.

Being that I live in NYC, traffic is a daily issue. Construction is always causing back-ups, another reason is the people who suck at driving and crash and burn.

Utica, NY doesn't have a pot to piss in, let alone money to do road repairs. Highway projects are most likely federally funded.
And they still manage to waste money, with 5 guys standing around one guy working the backhoe. Exactly why I didn't want to become a civil engineer.

I agree, they always find ways to waste money. But what does that have to do with you being a civil engineer? Why be an engineer at all if you're gonna worry about the labor that builds a project you worked on?

how fucking long have they been working on the bay bridge?

how fucking long have they been working on the bay bridge?
since 1989 and the earthquake

Same thing here and not even in the same country. It stimulates the economy they say. Stimulate my fucking patience too. 80km/h on the highway is slow and boring. Always in traffic too.
My girlfriend is a civil engineer and the things she tells me about waste of money is really frustrating.

we dont use kmh here at rhmt
