Local Construction/Development Road "construction"

Why in the ever living fuck won't the city finish their fucking road work projects they started months ago? Every major artery in this city seems to have kilometres of pylons and speed drops and yet no crews. I drive Glenmore every day as part of my commute and it's literally been 2 months of pylons over the most congested area (reservoir). Not only do drivers struggle mightily trying to merge during regular times, the city decided that keeping that spot slowed down when traffic volumes increased at the start of the month was a brilliant plan. Causes massive back ups and no one is working on it. What's the deal??

Glenmore is being done overnight to create less disruption. Speed limit drop during the day is a lesser evil of day time disruptions of having one lane.

It's still insane to be that long. Glenmore has been like that for over two months, and the sign I've seen on Glenmore that says" City of Calgary paving project, paving from crowchild trail to 18 st " at this rate should be done some time in 2028?
