Ugh, are we ever going to get a break from the construction? Seems like 95 has been under construction for a decade. Going from St Johns Co. Through downtown and west on 10 is almost 100% construction.
I guess when it's highway related, no one bats an eye...
That's a little bit of an exaggeration don't you think? Maybe take one of those zeros off and you'd be closer to the actual number. The overland bridge is 60 something years old and chunks of the roadway have literally been falling off for the last couple of years. The JTB interchange is a mess at rush hour. At least some of these are sorely needed projects. Would you prefer they are just left as is?
Take 0's off of what, the 100%? I think it's damn close, north of 90%.
All of i-10 inside the beltway (and beyond) is under construction, from emerson to downtown, under construction, as you mentioned, butler, under construction, and now this. So that leaves what? The 1 mile between 95 and baymeadows that's NOT a construction zone?
Would I rather they leave it? Sometimes. For example this project isn't necessary, the tolls on 295 in mandarin are also not necessary. The butler interchange is sorely needed.
We're not going to build our way out of traffic, it's a bucket on a sinking ship, other options must be explored.
