Highway repair

I'd like to know why a billion-dollar hotel/casino can be built in a year but patching a small stretch of highway takes 8 years. That really burns my ass!!!

A hotel has steel, plaster, electrical, plumbing, elevators, restaurants, doors, windows, carpeting, sprinkler systems, heating, cooling, and so on. A highway has steel and pavement. That's it! How long does it take to put steel up and slap some pavement around it? And when I drive by the repair zone, usually nobody is working. Or if there are people working, one is working and the rest are supervising! That really burns my ass!

Thoughts?
