For those who have never been to Texas, but plan to - this is Texas. We have two Seasons, Summer and Construction.

State Joke

[SIDENET]

Ah, it reminds me of I35.

[mtbopfuyn]

Any idea how much of this construction is due to illegals? Any idea how many illegals are working construction? Not even close to a joke, but it is seeming more and more like a conspiracy.

[wolfcreek]

More than you care to know about. Some people I know in the construction business claim there are as much as 90% illegal. Funny thing, once all this construction is finished, there will be so many people living here, it will be time to start it all over again.

[Maximus of Texas]

State construction projects have got to be the biggest waste of time and money. I would love to dig around and see how much money is passed under the table on these deals.
Anyone ever wonder why it has taken 10 years to do that one to two mile stretch on I-35, just south of Hillsboro?

[Chanticleer]

I'd feel right at home -- looks just like Florida.

[RandallFlagg]

Say all you want to about Texas, they still have the best lookin' ladies in the country down there.

[Ditter]

I can't see your pictures but if they are about street construction you are right on. I can't leave my house (in Houston) and go in any direction and not run into street constructions. I-10 is under major construction as is, Woodway, San Felipe, Memorial Dr and Voss. ARRRGGGGGGGGG! I'm trapped!

[girlscout]

Love it, and so very true! I've given up on hoping I'd ever see a time of no road construction.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

The constantly torn-up roads is also a common site in Phoenix, Az. And what are they doing? Tearing up the roads to make it look like they are working? If a worker has something to do on the roads, it doesn't take 300 years to get it done. Just do it, and be done. Don't waste taxpayers money and patience by PRETENDING one is working. In reality, one is just leaching off the system...

[PaulaB]

My question is Will the High 5 ever get done?

Lord I hate driving around that area!!!

[nuke rocketeer]

Texas road work is a paradigm of efficiency and sped when compared to Illinois and Pennsylvania.

[nuke rocketeer]

sped - speed

[fuzzbutt]

I've lived in Houston for 14 years and have not seen the stretch on I-45 around Corsicana NOT under construction.
There's one curve in that stretch. How hard can it be?
Definitely some funny money being spread around up there
