Who is in charge of constructing these concrete drainage channels beside our roads covered with uneven loose rocking leg breaking slabs? How are we to walk?

This part of the road was completed about 3 months ago. What was the lethargy to open it sooner?If a completed road takes so long to open,wonder how long it will take to build a new road?
