Oh god, that reminds me of something that happened a few years ago!
there’s a road in my area that is the only road that leads to a college, so it was pretty much the road with the heaviest traffic in the area, it was in bad condition for years and there were always talks of fixing that road. Covid comes around and the college is going completely remote for about a year and a half, which is a perfect time to work on the road but no work is done, on the first day the college reopens they start to work on the road.
