How long is a the bus rapid taking?

 

 

The Paris metro was inaugurated in 1900 for the World Fair. The man who built it was a well-known engineer and character, Fulgence Beinvenue. He had worked on the railways before being put in charge of the metro. He lost his left arm in a construction accident but he built the first line, 11 kilometres and 18 stations in 20 months. He and his men had no plant and machinery but they built it, no problem. A century later what are the construction companies telling us?

I think the Euclid project in its current incarnation started in 2004 with the moving of utilities and is supposed to be completed in Dec. 2008--3.5 years.  This doesn't count all the pre-planning.
