re: My first "I hate roads" Thread of 2017 (Trigger Warning: Meme Inside)

Contractors do the actual construction, but the planning, designing, inspecting, and maintaining is usually done by their own forces. Not to mention the legal arm that deals with immenent domain and lawsuits for injuries or the law enforcement piece that enforces weight limits on the vehicles, issues permits, and what not. It's a lot of stuff to offload.
