It took a year to build the Empire State Building, and 5 years to build the Hoover Dam yet current estimates for the Francis Scott Key bridge rebuild are near 10 years. Why is this? Have we regressed?
In: Engineering
96 people died building the hoover dam 5 people died in the construction of the empire state building. 0 is the current acceptable number of deaths for building in the USA. That requires alot of extra work to ensure everything is safe. Beyond that government spending on public works is likely much less than it was in the past.
