Why does this have to take so long? Been having to walk through mud every time it rains for months now.
That's how construction goes in the west. Nation states like the People's Republic of China can build entire lengths of high speed railway in a matter of weeks, but over here you've got to deal with politics, approvals, environmental checks, labour contracts, unions, budgets, safety etc just to get a 15 meter-odd footbridge open. It's rather sad. A century ago they would have had this thing done over a weekend.
