davao's generoso bridge (what's taking you so long

"slooooowwwww iiiiisssss whaaaaatttt yoooooooouuuuu caaaaallll itttttt" said the sloth. Generoso bridge had fallen down April 13, 2007. Since then it has been under construction for a year and a month now. With a budget of 300 million, it has been said to be finished for three more months. Being one of the major roads of the metro, it has been a pain in the*ss to all motorists to have to share one bridge (the newer one beside the old bridge) which is supposed to have two lanes (now it attends to four). Having always been a heavily traveled infrastructure (it is used as a primary road in and out of the city)it now takes more than an hour just to get through 161 meters. I definitely have doubts if they finish this bridge on time. After the collapse they have been bragging about finishing a new bridge in 6 months, which then led them to move it to 8 months wherein they announced that there was no contractor who can finish it at that time hence the prolonging to a year and four months. In their eyes it is 70 percent complete. But in mine it's barely 50. I just hope that, they are not sneaking up on our money whilst the metro waits in agony while their facade affects the economy deeply.
