I get it !
Anyway... my dad was a project inspector for ODOT.
The contractors usually admitted to dragging out the projects, as the timeframes were bloated by everyone, when bidding.
Also, ODOT has experimented with plastic mixed into blacktop.
There are ongoing test patches, throughout the state.
They've been testing since the mid-eighties.
Not the modular design, mind you, but plastic and even recycled tires mixed into the asphalt.
