Not to mention that a lot of what the USACE does is informed by their military engineering experience. The DOT doesn’t have that experience and would need to transfer people from the USACE to get it done, or collaborate with them for their experience. Way to make the government efficient, you just added another level of abstraction to the existing process.
Yeah governments are actually surprisingly efficient given what they do. There’s not usually a lot of actual waste. It’s just that government is hard and expensive. Libertarian fuckwits like eLoN can’t stand it.

Perfect example of “There’s a reason it’s structured that way.”
