No offense, but if you do road work, thank god. Those road construction crews hardly ever work and take forever to do anything.
- youarewrong


I'm on the government side. I make sure tax dollars are being used for exactly what the plans call for.

Road construction takes awhile if you do it right. Up north its a different story because most of the work is resurfacing. They take a 90 day project and turn it into a 365 day project and use RFIs/Change Orders to rob tax payers blind, and the DOT is mostly complicit. Lots of mobbed up contractors/politicians.

Delaware isn't so bad, DelDOT was pretty good when I left in 2001. NJDOT and PENNDOT are two of the worst in the country. God awful.

No offense, but that's a really poopty thing to say. Also, I don't think you realize exactly what his job is.

I get the frustration towards construction. Some jobs feel like they take forever. Some jobs actuallydo.

Not many people line up to thank us when we're done, but I don't get paid for thank yous.

I appreciate the defense, but Mason needs it more!

Man it sucks to be at work today. First time in the construction business I've had to work the day after xmas. Also the first time the guys in the field like having an inspector around giving everyone a hard time and enforcing holiday traffic rules which prevents them from 75% of their work.

Sorry, that has to suck!

I didn't, thats why I said "if". Of Course it could be completely different here in Delaware. Our Road Crews drive me nuts.

Thanks for explaining. You know what drives me crazy about DelDot. It seems like they will take 2 years to complete a project and then 2 year later will be re-doing it. I heard its because unless Delaware spends so much on road repairs, they wont get federal money. So they end up doing roads over just to get the money, not because the roads are bad. That is really what drives me nuts.
