There's a stretch of highway near me that has been under construction since before the pandemic. Orange barrels. Lane closures. Reduced speed limits. For THREE YEARS.
And somehow the road is in worse condition now than before they started. New potholes. Uneven lanes. Temporary barriers that have become permanent fixtures.
I looked up the project timeline on TxDOT's website. Estimated completion: 2028. We're not even halfway.
Is this just how it works? Does road construction in Texas ever actually finish?
Check the TxDOT project tracker website. You can see the actual contract, budget, and timeline. It won't make you feel better but at least you'll know when to expect relief.
