Approximately 15 - 20 years ago, a contractor named Angelo Iafrate did a big job on widening the I10 - I12 split in Baton Rouge. For every day he managed to cut off the projected time budget, Mr. Iafrate earned a bonus. If I'm remembering correctly, that bonus capped at $1 million, but regardless of the cap, he earned the full amount.
While it would be unusual, finishing early can be done, and has been done, in Louisiana. Let's hope a contractor as motivated as Mr. Iafrate gets this job whenever it is advertised and let out for bid.

This project is what the interstate in BR should have looked like in 1985. We should be doing a project to widen this 1985 project now.

Yeah because anyone that has ever worked construction knows a night shift cuts your schedule in half.

Yeah that was in the early to mid 90s.

Betcha it will still be 7-10 years and major cost overruns.

That was 25-30 years ago BTW
We are going through all of this. They may as well widen it to 10 lanes instead of just 8.
