Let’s do ALL the road work now

This is actually happening in Northern VA. At least on 66 and 28. I believe there is a project on Route 7 as well.

As for funding, that money has already been dedicated to those projects. It's very unlikely that it would get pulled into another pot, so to speak. States set up and approved budgets, and contracts got signed. Sure, the state could walk away from contracts, but that has not been on the legislative table yet.
Hubby and I were just talking about how road projects fit in the social distancing concept. Of all the state projects, this type should allow for plenty.
If things get so bad that Minnesooooota doesn't fix the potholes and do the resurfacing, we'll be close to Hell, and able to get a lower contract price for asphalt from Hades. They can melt asphalt like nobody else can. -
I'm all for it as long as they can keep the construction workers safe.

If only we had done this then... Joe's "Infrastructure Plan" would be irrelevant.

You can't just double or triple the amount of road workers, engineers etc. with the snap of a finger and a few $$$. You can't just start with a project within a few weeks if all the necessary and many preparatory works aren't done first. I think the amount of short-term speedup a politician can achieve in these things are rather limited.

Only 6% of the bill is for roads and bridges. I thought everybody knew that already.
