[QUOTE="Dorkus, post: 4015699, member: 47598"] I guess my question is why don't they work 24/7 to get this done more timely? I know this is done in Houston because I would see people working under lights when I would go see relatives over the years. I am not poking anyone because I know zero about the industry but I do know, if you want to finish something you have to work on it like you want to get it finished with a sense of urgency. The appearance is zero urgency due to limited workers on sites. 76 between Dibble and Lindsay has been under a widening and shoulder project for almost two years now for four miles. They are almost done now but still have the 45 mph speed limit signs with no one working on it and no cones. It looks completely done, yet it is still considered a construction zone. We are also going on six months to remove a toll booth on the Norman extension, yet no one is there but the barrels and cops are out in force. Why are they not planning the schedule to knock this out in 30 days? It can't be too hard since in this example there is zero traffic since that is routed off the area being updated. I think the frustration is people see cones and barricades but the appearance of any work getting done is by a few people at a time. If anyone is even working on it. [/QUOTE]
