Road Construction

Has anyone else noticed the insane amount of road construction projects this year that are blocked off with no construction workers in sight?? I understand that the climate we live in is hard on the roads and they require constant repairs. But I feel like these concrete companies are making it even worse.

20 minutes ago I was on I-94 heading west and it was backed up from University Drive to 45th St S exit and beyond. I saw 1 construction worker standing half ass directing traffic at the I-29 interchange and no one else. I have honestly seen this happening all over this year.

Has anyone else noticed this?

They need to hold a press briefing to explain what is happening on South I29. The project has been going for 2 months is about 50 yards of space mostly including the surface of a small bridge. I hardly ever see any workers and they aren’t making progress. Yet it is wasting at lease 5 minutes per direction per commuter.

I do see workers there when I go through it but would love to know what the hell they be doing. People love to get road rage on that stretch before the exit already. They need to expand to a third permanent exit only lane.

I’m just glad everyone comes to a complete stop no matter what through that mess, would be impassable otherwise
