Ever think that maybe they are waiting on materials or have a break? Sort of like you posting at work or at the coffee pot. You might want to know a little something about highway construction before you claim to know what someone should be doing.
Obviously you have no Idea that most of what the DOT do is repair maintenance. The road construction is generally contracted out to private construction companies. Missouri is like in the top 5 states for paved highways and state routes not to mention County Roads. Work is let in stages as money is available. No contractor is gonna work and not get payed. Kansas on the other hand doesn't have near the paved roads or bridges to maintain.
As for the KDOT taking less time to pave a highway that depends could be what you saw was a overlayment. Where they co-mill a 3 to 4 inch layer of pavement then resurface. This is completely different that a rehab. A rehab means you completely remove the old pavement rework the sub grade and compact. Then you rebuild new pavement all the while keeping the traffic flowing and open.
Buy you knew all that being a sidewalk engineer. All knowing of the schedules and who should be busy and who is a stand around guy. Because we all know full well you have never been seen to be doing nothing.
