I'm not sure what DFW and TXDOT do right but they routinely bring projects in on time and on budget (if not under). Two large projects that come to mind is the HighFive and Grapevine Connector. Both were huge and the High Five made headlines for some new bridge making machine the contractor invented. Whatever they're doing it seems to be working.

The projects may be on time and under budget, but from a citizen's perspective the transportation situation in DFW is excruciating. Endless construction, confusing junctions, deceptively labeled toll roads, and an NTTA site that won't let you use secure passwords (or security questions) to register. Give me fewer freeways and more public transit options any day, thanks.
