True but I think Monday is a popular day because it's the start of the work week and a new freeway (?) would be a pleasant surprise for commuters. More importantly, people are likely paying more attention to the news on a Monday than on a Saturday. The government would want to maximize the amount of exposure the event gets as most people would see it as a good news story. If a project ended up way over budget or was late then they'd probably have the opening late on a Friday afternoon.
