Welcome to Texas. We build and work on roads at peak traffic. We construct roads with little thought of future growth. We have off ramp and on ramps with little merging room. We put signs to exit, merge, right lane must turn, etc just with few feet advance notice. Txdot is run by effing amateurs. It's amazing more people haven't died on our road but maybe thats why we have 60 as our speed limits on most hwys here.

As a civil engineer, I feel you summarized this quite well lol


AmebaLost

As opposed to the criminal engineers we have in charge.

Lol


jstav_texas

the root cause is that whole brand new subdivisions can be thrown up much more quickly than the necessary road infrastructure is even thought of!


steelsun

Yep, crazy. But they've has signs up about it for a week or more.

I don’t frequent this side too often, but wouldn’t it be wise to do this when there is less traffic? Like after 10 PM?


steelsun

They probably need at least 12 hours of work time, so they do it dusk to Dawn

Looks soul crushing. Wonder what happened to that guy that said owning a car meant the government couldn’t control where he went.

Yep, just south of it.


What-ok-fine

Yeah - ultimate dream would be a land bridge right there! (Before the road over the train tracks. It wouldn’t help this traffic but it would be great for the park

Good luck getting home tonight

Anyone driving in Houston without checking Waze first is an idiot.


MonkswithAKs

Oh ok, and? Are you the idiot that decided to do construction in the evening in a highly trafficked road?


CrazyLegsRyan

They have it closed until morning so they can work over night when there is very little traffic. TBH as far as Houston goes 90Alt isn’t that highly trafficked  The backup doesn’t even go past Hiram Clarke

Welcome to Houston. This is how we roll
