    My family watched in awe and disbelief as PA spent 20 years building Rt. 202 (outside of Philadelphia) - a grand total of about 20 miles - while Interstate 5 was being built at the rate of one mile a day, here in California, in the 1960's.

    You should see how long it is taking Septa to replace about ten blocks of overhead track. It's been eight years and counting. I've moved twice, gotten married, and changed careers in that time.

    Sometimes, you just can't beat that good ole big business/big union Eastern work ethic!

    We used to (honestly) laugh ourselves silly watching about 10 guys with shovels, leaning on those shovels for support, while they watched a cloud move across the sky - praying that it would mist on them ... so they could go home for the next couple of days! When it did they'd RUN and SKIP to their trucks gleefully - deliriously happy!

    ... what can I say ... saw it a thousand times!

    try taking the turnpike at rush hour. the area around kink of prussia is a nightmare.

    i know here in bucks county it takes a few deaths on the road for something to change. i can not tell ya how many intersections that i have said "there needs to be a light here, someone is going to get killed" boom someone gets killed and magically there is a light there two weeks later.

    what road are you talking about. i may know of it.

    Tim,

    be careful what you wish for, I have seen Pa take a bunch of houses to "fix" a turn that is down the street. That would include MY house.[V]

    Anyone drive the "Surekill" Expressway in Philadelphia lately? That is a killer highway!
