The thing about roads is that you can only do so much work at one time or it fucks up the daily commute to and from work. In Kansas City theres two interstate highways and two state highways that go from the eastside to downtown. They've been working on the two state highways this year and actually closed one completely. One of the interstates had a bridge collapse and I ended up spending an additional 20 minutes getting to work since all the other fucking roads are closed.
Also, most of the work is done by heavy machinery, so you only need one person for the dump truck, the roller, the crane, etc. Most of the money goes to materials and planning not the labor. I actually think MODOT is dragging out one of the state highway work for jobs because they're working on 10-15 miles of highway at the same time (its going from a hilly two lane to a level four lane) and they've finished none of it in the past 4 months.
The same thing applies to public works as well, but go ahead and cry about spending money on infrastructure. The money should be used to build a fence for the mexican border right?
