NC DOT

Now that I live in North Carolina I tend to shake my head at the seeming ineptitude and snails progress of the NC DOT. However, I was amused to read this in today's San Jose Mercury News. It is a newspaper article written by Gary Richards under the pseudonym Mr. Roadshow. Dealing with bay area traffic issues, this particular article was written along the lines of trivia questions.

Q In 1985, Caltrans predicted that Highway 85 could be built in how many years?

A 18 or 19

Q How many years did it take to complete Highway 85, once local officials took control of the 18 1/2-mile freeway project from Caltrans?

A 10
