And nikkas hate on me for saying Japan is better
Are you black? Those jobs are only for, umm, how do I put this?
Not true. My dad is a concrete cutting specialist for a union and there's plenty of black folks who work at his company.
It's mostly about who you know, to get into a high paying construction job knowing someone who works construction is the best way

They're still working on the bridges in the city and the work on i87 has been going on since I was a kid although some of it has finished
The new tappan zee bridge is impressive.

im howlingDumbest shyt I have ever read on the internet.
They been working on that forever. The traffic on that was.....
I just think there is too much regulation and red tape when it comes to building these things. They are crucial, especially avoiding a disaster like what happened in the Midwest years back. Could you imagine a fall out on the TZB?Yeah. I think they replaced a bunch of concrete on the old bridge over the last god knows how many years. I used to see them lay entire lanes at a time they brought in by truck. They're build an all new bridge and it's a marvel( I can only imagine the cost). It's gotta be a 30-50 feet higher than the last one at a minimum and it's two separate spans/traffic lanes. The old bridge which traffic uses still runs besides it. Traffic hasn't been bad the last 4 times I've taken it thankfully.
Just a rendering bellow but they're really moving along now.
Similar design to the Vasco da Gama Bridge in Portugal
A Japanese road in which a giant sinkhole was hastily repaired earlier this month has again shown signs of subsidence, officials say.
The repaired road in Fukuoka sank by about 7cm (2.7in) on Saturday over a 30-sq-m (322 sq-ft) area and was temporarily closed.
The chasm first appeared on 8 November in Fukuoka's business district.
Construction officials quoted by Jiji Press on Saturday said the latest subsidence was "within expectations".
They said it happened because "special soil" used to repair the sinkhole may have compressed soil underneath it as it hardened.
The Japan Times said the road was only closed for a few hours on Saturday.
Workers moved fast to fill the first hole, which spanned a five-lane street, stretching 30m (98ft) wide and 15m deep.
The street was reopened within a week. City officials say the collapse was caused by underground construction nearby.
No one was hurt in either incident.
the sinkhole was created by construction crews
fixed by those same construction crews
sinkhole again
