Whereas in the east, they have to widen the road allowance itself through demolition and regarding, replace entire bridges, they started construction only a few months ago and they're already half done.

Deadlines really do make a difference after all. Perhaps we should put tight deadlines on all of our construction projects.
It makes things a lot easier for commuters, but tight deadlines also mean more expensive night construction, extended road closures, lots more coordination needed, and the cost can't be spread out over multiple years without tinkering with the financing and/or postponing other projects.
