Progress and Efficiency, Government-Style

From a story in the Vineyard Gazette, which covers Martha's Vineyard, which is in Massachusetts, which, for all you clueless Wall Street Journal readers, is in the Northeast:

"The recently completed temporary Lagoon Pond drawbridge in Vineyard Haven that took six years to build and cost over $9 million is already suffering from some of the same problems that plagued the old drawbridge that was torn down last year." The article goes on, "The permanent bridge will be completed sometime in 2013 at a cost of some $35 million. Funding will come entirely from the state."

If it took six years to build the temporary drawbridge, what are the chances that the permanent bridge will really be done in 2013?
