^^^ I think everyone needs to stop taking these reports and lists so seriously. This isn't meant to be a comprehensive analysis of America's infrastructure projects. If you wanted that you could get it, but it would cost you thousands of dollars. For example, some guys at my firm are putting together a massive analysis of the state of American intermodal shipping to sell to clients to provide a comprehensive view of where the growth can be expected as a result of things like CREATE and the general rail boom that is going on. That is not going to be just posted online for everyone to read.

This kind of stuff is thrown together with only a few days of research and published in order to stimulate discussion, not to be relied upon as the end all be all of infrastructure news. And guess what it does? It stimulates discussion on this forum and elsewhere. It makes people go "well hey, what about this project?" and then everyone talks about which projects are the best. That's the point. The point is not to update you with an ultra detailed analysis of what is going on. You'd have to pay a ton of money if you wanted that because that kind of information is not free.
