Interesting item here.
Delays caused by securing approval for infrastructure projects cost
the U.S. more than twice what it would cost to fix the infrastructure
itself, according to a new report released by Common Good, a nonpartisan government-reform coalition.
The
group said that those approvals can take a decade or longer to get and
even a six-year delay in starting construction on public projects costs
over $3.7 trillion-- or more than double the $1.7 trillion needed
through the end of this decade to modernize the country’s overall
infrastructure....
Locals, States, DNRs, EPA, Corps of Engineers, .....quite a list, before you get to bidding (and the wars over that) and actually constructing the damn road.
And let's not forget the lawsuits from aggrieved NIMBY prop-owners.
