Has anyone given an explanation for why it will take them two years (a deadline they also won't meet) to repave a couple miles of straight road?

I know the Jefferson project involves the replacement of at least some of the roadbed. And of course it's concrete so they patch it before they overlay with asphalt. But it seems like they've been at it for a year by now.

Because state contracts get the least attention because of rainout days etc and the low margin. So it will sit for most of that time, then when the deadline nears, they will focus briefly on it to finish it. Meanwhile, literally any other project that pays more will take precedence.
