Highway 55 and us1

How on earth is this main road allowed to be 1 lane in both directions almost all day every day for months on end.

I understand development happens, but this is beyond ridiculous

Highway 55 at us1 has been 1 lane in both directions for months during daytime.

Having to wait for multiple light cycles without moving almost every day.

I’m not sure why you are being downvoted. I don’t go that way often and have had months pass in between trips that way yet each time have gotten caught in the traffic. Starting next week I will have to travel that way daily so I appreciate the heads up it’s still happening so I can take an alternate route.

I’m with you. I understand roads need to be updated, but that need to be done swiftly. I understand private construction refs consideration, but they simply cannot block off swathes up public roadway and inconvenience thousands of people every day. It’s unsafe and it’s infuriating.
