TX road construction

Why is TX so deathly slow doing road construction? They spent 5 years working on 35E where it meets 20, and all they did was add one lane. It took them 4 years to build the ramps where 635 meets US75. They've been working on the ramps at exit 8 in Laredo for 4 years, and they still have at least 1 year to go.
In comparison, OH built the ramps on 280 in 1.5 years and they're building the ramps at the 70/75 junction in less than 1 year. IL is widening Chicago's toll roads and 80/94, and extending 355 in 3 years. PA did all that work on 76 in 2 years.
TX can't even use winter as an excuse. What's their problem????

I know what you guys mean! They have been "renovating" IH 35 in New Braunfels, (just north of San Antonio) for 6 years. I think they are adding two lanes there. Almost done! And the 70/75 interchange in Ohio I think has been going on for 2 years now. My parents live about 20 miles from there.
