Road Construction Part Deux

*Sorby!*
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2531954/ for the last journal relative to the topic.
Lately I was griping about how inept this little bit of construction is, since it's on a bridge and bottlenecking into one lane each side of the interstate. What's more, is that now they won't seem to be finished until the middle of October. Well, being the curious little interloper, I decided to take a look myself while on my way home from work one night to see how they're progressing. Only to find that they've progressed about two feet on a 1000 foot bridge in about a week and a half. What's more, every time I drive by, those nitwits are on a coffee break. That's every time I drive home from work.
I realize it's hot out there, and I realize that not every last construction worker is a lazy joke, but COME ON. I don't know what these people have planned, but they're certainly taking their time with this, probably 'making sure they get it right', since it *is* over a bridge and all.
I just wish they weren't on breaks every time I drive by, makes for a sorry impression on the general public. Though next thing you know, they'll start having people stand around with those portable Stop/Slow signs and cause even more traffic.
Speaking of traffic, when I came home the other day, the traffic at ELEVEN PM was backed up all the way to the exit that I get off on. I had to take an alternate route home if I didn't want to stay in traffic for two hours after. And that's about fifteen miles worth of three lane interstate backed up, just for reference.
