  The question we really gotta ask is why they must work on 25 different roads,
closing them off for miles at a stretch, and you see 2 or 3 guys working on 100
feet of the 10 mile closure on each of the 25 closed roads.

They should take _all_ those people and _all_ that equipment to _one_ 10 mile
closure and fix it in 30 days instead of 9 months, and then move on to the next
site.  That way, there would only be 1 closure in an area at any one time, and
therefore only 1 construction-caused traffic jam.  There would only be 1
opportunity to have accidents in each direction at the start of the construction
zone, fewer construction workers at the beggining of the construction zone to be
put at risk.  Most would be within the relatively safe depth of the construction
zone, protected most likely by Jersey Barriers.

My 2 cents, and rant.
