[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3640538, member: 5412"] Exactly. The HWY 60 bridge in Ponca over the Arkansas River had issues with the concrete cracking away from the expansion joints causing pot holes. Repairs started over a year ago and are still ongoing. No businesses in the area to worry about. I cross that bridge twice a day or more. There have been months where zero people were working on the bridge. It just sits there with no work being done. The answer to that is to change the bidding process. Introduce bonuses to complete the job early or fines if construction/repairs take over the allotted time of the contract taking into account enviromental/weather issues that prevent work from happening. When these companies start paying a thousand dollars a day in fines, they will hire a few more people and get the job done early or onetime. [/QUOTE]
