It really does seem like whoever decides how long the work is gonna take and how long they actually take to complete it is purposefully making it take forever. Dunno if that's up to the contractors or not, but they seem to take their sweet time. And maybe I've only ever driven by when the workers are on their breaks, but so many times I've driven on highways and interstates and seen guys chilling on their phones or sitting down, while it doesn't appear that really anything was done. And I also see them block off 4 lanes while seemingly barely working on the furthest lane away from traffic. Maybe they're just being extra safe and/or maybe they'll eventually start working on the other lanes, but it definitely doesn't look good to people driving by. I'm sure there's a ton of stuff going on that I have no clue about and maybe in reality it really does take forever to fix small parts of a highway.
