Sounds like Alabama road construction. The work's done in two days, the work zone speed limit signs stay up for the next year.

Seems accurate to me. It's always just a bunch of orange cones and signs saying "work ahead" with no one around.

I love when the speed limit signs are lower than normal, but have small print saying "if workers are present."
Iggloodamus
Same here, but it is because they do the work at night, usually. It's cooler and less traffic

Fun fact: in Rhode Island, it's illegal to do road work at night.

What? That's the opposite of sensible.

It's because they didn't have lights (like these: http://www.3benefitsof.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/light-tower.jpg), IIRC.

the first time i went out on 35, it was under construction for several miles. every time i go out there it's under construction. Did the

I met a guy in Alabama who was from Illinois. He said it perfectly: Illinois is a great state to be FROM.
I live in AL. I'll put our stretch of I-20/59 from Tuscaloosa to the MS state line up against anyone who says their state's roads suck.
Hell, I-20 near the Georgia state line literally killed someone several years ago.
HumpDay
That's crazy, my dad is in Alabama (originally from IL) and says that all the time. O.o
DaSandwich22
Out of state person: "You don't have a budget?" Me: "I can't even spell budget" But that's probably because of the poor education system.
Illinois has the 8th best education system in the country.
Yikes. Not where I went. Guess it's just luck of the draw.
Kind of is. Very polarized. Either a very good school or a very bad school, usually.

I live in Chicago and the SO lived in wheeling. The exit to get to her house was under construction for like 3-4 years!!!

It would piss me off to pay tolls in Chicago area and then have the roads not up to par or continuously under construction.
It sucks when your state tax is $10.25 and the roads look like the surface of the moon.
Blodgarmpls
The Taylor exit on 90/94 has been under construction for 3 years so far. Doesnt look anywhere near completed.
Yup, I asked one of the two construction workers I saw and he explained that they works low on purpose because they can stretch out the pay.

And most of the roads are still garbage in IL, BTW. You don't see the difference on most toll roads for all the money they collect.

Winters kill roads quickly because the repeated reezing and thawing expands and cracks concrete/asphalt.

Recently moved from the cities to FL. So do not miss that disaster freaking bridge. They're still not done?!
ikindafail
Where do you live in Florida that there's no construction? I live next to Tampa and it's been worked on my whole life
So I drive from Punta Gorda to Venice every day, but that construction doesn't even compare to the disaster the 1-74 bridge is.
I don't know but the bottleneck sucks going into Bettendorf or Moline. Either way I hate that bridge every year.
Especially when people get in accidents on the bridge

Winters kill roads quickly because the repeated reezing and thawing expands and cracks concrete/asphalt.

I-74 bridge anyone? Iowa's ready but Illinois isn't!

Illinois is too busy being relevant.

Recently moved from the cities to FL. So do not miss that disaster freaking bridge. They're still not done?!

Where do you live in Florida that there's no construction? I live next to Tampa and it's been worked on my whole life

So I drive from Punta Gorda to Venice every day, but that construction doesn't even compare to the disaster the 1-74 bridge is.

I don't know but the bottleneck sucks going into Bettendorf or Moline. Either way I hate that bridge every year.

Especially when people get in accidents on the bridge
