Stop! Another construction area?

Used to be a joke, "I will get that done when road construction is done on I-20......." I-20 through Alabama is a on going none stop working site.

We have a lot of road works in our area too.

Yes, here in W-S, it seems like one place or another is always being repaved or widened... I saw a photo some time back.. I think it was somewhere in Asia. An earthquake or some form of natural disaster caused a big hole on a road... and I mean big. Supposedly crews worked day and night for a week and were able to get the road back to new again... If only our own transportation departments would be as efficient.

In Italy the roads are all the time under construction, but always in bad shape and never completed. They are refurbishing our main road here. The works started two weeks ago, I think that in about 7 days the road will be completed.

I-95 through the entire state of Georgia has been under construction for about the past 100 years. I don't think they will ever be finished! I've never been able to figure out why there is so much ongoing construction on that interstate in Georgia!

Oh! So it happens in US too, i thought only India or developing countries are like that.

In my country, it is weird to have road construction during rainy days. I can smell something fishy with such projects.

I agree. It seems like construction in my home city has been going on for 2 years at least.

Yes, Tennessee is always redoing roads, sometimes the same roads over and over. Now the Gov. wants to increase gas tax for road work.

What they keep doing in our area is changing the highway! They add lanes and then they take them away. They put a new onramp in one place and then move it to another place! And then they wonder why there are so many accidents! If the President thinks we need a wall down south, he needs to drive around the US and fix some of these other messes first!

In Alberta we say we have 2 seasons, winter and construction. Our weather is hard on roads so there is always a lot of construction.

Yes i am. But yet nothing ever seems to been done.

Our roads are always under construction. The road in front of our apartment was finished about a year ago. They added extra lanes.Now another new road is being constructed near us.

There are some of those in our country that takes eternity to finish :)

It is the same here. There are excavation everywhere. They are repairing manholes to prepare for the rainy season. It is always like this during summer here.

That is why we need to quit sending aide to other countries and spend the money in our country the USA.

They do that here too from time to time. It seems like an eternity but once it is all done it is soon forgotten. Until the next time of course!

No. I don't travel the interstate as much as I did some years ago not that I ever did it for a job but I usually went one place or another for church meeting and things like that. The roads nearest us finally got done a few years ago when they fixed the clover leaf area. I expected them to fix two exits where the cars coming onto the expressway did so within a few feet of the cars leaving the same area. We had another situation similar to that nearer our city and they rerouted one of the exits so that it was a longer distance from those coming onto the expressway. Unfortunately, and possibly because the other area was two main expressways meeting in the middle they weren't able to fix it in the same way. There are other stretches of 75 which mainly runs north to south through Michigan and down past Ohio that seems to be under construction somewhere along the way most years, but after a while one area will finally be done and you can tell they're working on a completely different area. Course, within a few years only, it sometimes seems, that it begins anew all over again. Maybe not, but it appears that way.

I don't see too much construction around here but that doesn't stop them but increasing out vehicle registration in a state that's already the highest.

I lived in areas where that happened yes -- the work seemed never ending.
