John, that's quite a jump... Let's try comparing apples with apples shall we? For all you know, the intent was to get the entire thing taken care of in a day but something unforeseen happened. Might be a good idea to check that out the reasons why something like this happened...
Road construction is done in such a way that it's nearly impossible to screw up the staging and the reason for that is it inconveniences a LOT more people than having one intersection's sidewalks ripped up for a period does. Most people don't rely on sidewalks for something like say...your groceries getting to the store or driving to work.
From the looks of things, it's quite easy to walk around the fence that's been ripped out on the west side to get to the next sidewalk. Sorry your walk was screwed up, but there are MUCH bigger problems than some temporary inconvenience because that sidewalk was ripped up.
