General Road and Highway Discussion

[Pheidippides]

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of summer road projects are behind from where they should be this late in the construction season?

Also, it seems to me like the problem of not finishing infrastructure projects on time is getting worse over time? Is that the case? Is there some sort of objective measure reported to council? If true what would be the reason? More complicated projects/older infrastructure? Inexperienced companies? Companies low-balling bids too much and then not having enough staff to get things done on time? The last few construction seasons seem to have been pretty good weather wise (early spring/late winter, few rainy days).
