Even if the desired effect of insta-jump starting the economy isn't achieved, the long term effects will be positive. Investing in infrastructure is a vital part of supporting a strong economy; something we seem to have forgotten over the last several decades.
p.s. I explained what happens after the work "dries up." Ideally the economy is in a better place and better jobs are available, so the right-to-workers can take those jobs.
What I was driving at, was to get the better jobs, you have to encourage investment in businesses that can provide those jobs...
And how do you do that? You can jump start the economy, but without long term resolutions that promote business staying in the US, rather than leaving, it will all unravel.
