On Budget and On Time

The Virginia Department of Transportation is maintaining an encouraging record of delivering road-building projects on budget and on time. Reports the Virginian-Pilot:

The department reported that 93 percent of its construction projects were within budget in the first quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, which is under way, and that 91 percent of those projects were on time.

VDOT also said it completed 96 percent of its maintenance contracts within budget but that it slipped in completing maintenance work on time, with 68 percent reaching the goal, down 11 percent from last year’s first-quarter work.
