I'd just be happy if they'd start when the signs go up and stay there until complete. Round here, signs go up but no work just delays. Then they get around to it eventually but even then it's like 9 months depending on the job I suspect it's all budget based. Start the job during a budget cycle then get to it when crews are freed up.
29There's a lot of reasons, sometimes you're waiting for a DOT inspector to bless off on something before you can move on, sometimes it just rained and you can't get proper compaction until the moisture level comes back down, or it could be as simple as man hours have already been used up for key operators for the week and they might not want overtime. lately I suspect unexpected delays are from supply shortages for culvert pipe or whatever. I use arch linux btw.
23Over here in germany, the government almost always picks the contractor who makes the cheapest offer for any given job. That almost always leads to them not finishing the job, so roads stay closed until the government picks a new contractor. And if they don't pick a new contractor for 6 months, there are no consequences whatsoever.

My parents would always point at the "end roadwork" signs and say "protest sign!" So I taught that to my now-wife. At first she hated it, now she does it herself
