I remember reading a VERY old series of Calgary Herald's in the archives and the Alps-hardened Swiss engineers that were brought in to build/consult on the highway were all complaining day after day that our methods were primitive and that they could not fathom not spending a little more money to do it right the first time instead of having to rebuild it in 20 years.

Looks like they were right. The only thing they they got wrong was our tolarance for substandard planning. Looks we merely *should* have rebuilt it 20 years ago, as oppsed to *have* to have rebuilt it.
