I hear they've been working on the same section of highway near the Tacoma Dome for over 20 years now. I know they were working on it back in the early 2000s, and they were still at it when I visited there a year or two ago.
For perspective, the US spent less than 4 years fighting in World War II. Millions of soldiers trained, tens of thousands of ships, aircraft, and tanks built, and they could have done it all over again fives and still it would be less time than it has taken to rebuild a couple miles of highway in Washington State.
For more perspective, the S-1 "Uranium Committee" was created in 1940, the Manhattan Project started in 1942, and the first atomic bomb tested only 3 years later in 1945. The Hiroshima bomb deployed only a month later.
