My work focuses on budgeting, oversight, and procurement of major government software projects, but I’ll be damned if the problem space and solutions don’t map neatly onto transportation. As a nation, we need to be able to make such emergency repairs in *days*. https://wapo.st/3CpQONX
Eight days ago I lamented that Pennsylvania's timeline to fix the destroyed I-95 overpass was measured in months. This afternoon, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced it will be open again this weekend. The state has maintained a popular livestream of the repairs, which the governor uses to monitor progress. This is a great example of government doing the work and doing it right. Very impressive! https://www.inquirer.com/news/95-live-cam-shapiro-repair-quinta-20230621.html
