Why road construction is still snarled up

It’s a tediously recurrent theme: road construction annoys drivers. CBC explains that, while the city is developing a new database called AGIR, in which all roadwork will be entered and be better orchestrated, many current contracts predated the database. It will take a couple of years before all contracts for road digs are in the system.

The city spokesperson also notes that sometimes there are unforeseen emergency repairs that can’t be helped.
