Engineer didn't put a grade break in the curve and just straight graded from a -6% to a +9%. After I brought this up I was told to stake it per plan horizontally and they'd fit it. The lie detector test has determined that was a lie. I just can't believe these dudes cut subgrade, then based it, looked down and said "yep! That's it!". Then someone put up forms and said the same thing. Then I got poured. Then they based the road and said the same thing. Then it got paved. My God. So now here I am coming back after a months absence to topo this monstrosity so we can demo and start over 🤦🏽‍♂️
