I'd just be happy if they'd start when the signs go up and stay there until complete. Round here, signs go up but no work just delays. Then they get around to it eventually but even then it's like 9 months depending on the job I suspect it's all budget based. Start the job during a budget cycle then get to it when crews are freed up.
Over here in germany, the government almost always picks the contractor who makes the cheapest offer for any given job. That almost always leads to them not finishing the job, so roads stay closed until the government picks a new contractor. And if they don't pick a new contractor for 6 months, there are no consequences whatsoever.
Ohhf. Im sorry to hear that. Guess road work is just universally horrible
