To clarify for all the blue collar workers offended in the comments. They are slow and bad at every construction project. Look at grant avenue over a month behind schedule and some interesting reports about the businesses being ruined by it. Downtown is weeks behind schedule is started in mid December was supposed to be 90 days. It was just extended until the summer.

Dude you sound just like the Tech Bro's I used to work with when I was a System Analyst. Always looking down on those lower in the perceived hierarchy of jobs and minimizing what they do and have to put up with. Always thinking they were smarter than everyone else. Never bothering to understand why we have certain processes, rules, and requirements.

Delays in these kinds of projects are very seldomly caused by the front line workers. Rather the project engineer made assumptions that reality could not back up, the coordinator (often the same as the project engineer) could not coordinate deliveries to the set time schedule, mother nature sabotaged the time frame, needed equipment/parts suddenly became unavailable.

Anyhow, take your blood pressure meds, do some yoga, and smoke some 420 if that is your thing. Just relax and let the pro's do their job as best as reality will let them.

I'm not stressed just pointing out the facts. The construction workers stand around and fall behind schedule. Not my fault if the facts if that bother you. Sorry for your loss.

Yet as multiple people have pointed out that is not reality. Your facts are merely suppositions and conjecturer based on ignorance. You are assuming they are standing around and not doing anything for no good reason. Yet provide no facts to back that up only your feels. So, I'm going to have to put a big old citation needed on your hypothesis that they are standing around and not doing anything resulting in them falling behind.

Quite literally have a picture of them all just standing there. What do you want an 8 hour video of them doing nothing lol? I also have the facts that I live next to it. It have take them 3 months to go about 100 ish feet.

Your density is approaching that of a neutron star in this matter. Go back and closely review what you have been educated on in this topic by a great many other posters. Reflect on that and write a 750 word essay explaining why you feel this way citing reputable sources in the Chicago Style, double spaced in 11 point times now roman font. You will need to show specific cause and effect, that work was waiting to be done at those specific times and the persons standing around were not doing it even though they are qualified and licensed to do said work.

They made it from park central east and Jefferson to McDaniel and Jefferson the next intersection over in about 3 months.

Not to spam you. But this project started December 5th to ending March 1st. Was just extended 90 days because they are so far behind schedule .

And have you looked to see why they were behind schedule or just assumed?

Also I see nowhere on either ky3 or springfield active projects stating why they are behind.

Speaking of do nothing, jeesh you've been defending this for hours, don't you have a job or hobbies?

If you're a underground utility worker I'd say you might have some capacity to speak with the authority you think you have. But obviously "delays" are something that troubles your rigid little perspective. If you're really this upset, stop being a coward and keyboard warrior. Go ask them what the holdup is. And point out while they are working outside you'll be behind your window playing Monday morning quarterback.

I mean it's pretty well informed I see them standing there doing nothing multiple times almost every day. I have been either walking to and from work or my vehicle and swear I have never seen them doing anything. I watched it take them weeks just to dig a hole. When they were digging in the park central east intersection I mean it was genuinely weeks to dig a hole. My roommate and I made fun of how slow it was multiple times. They would have an entire crew out there watching the one guy in the back hoe. Also they are behind in multiple projects. So that leads me to think it's the people not doing their jobs on time.
