The past few years have been thick with promises of shiny new infrastructure and the revival of American greatness.
Funny, then, that so little has been made of a quiet victory for U.S. infrastructure due later this year. By September 2018, one of the country’s most famous civil-engineering projects will finally complete construction, six decades after work on it began.

there is some weird social pathology going on with i-95 that turns everyone who drives on it into a complete asshole.
My favorite license plate: “IH8I95”
Everybody but me. The rest of y’all drive like jerks.
One day, I got cut off hard by a cop. I jammed the brakes, jerked the wheel and hit the horn all at the same time.
Later, I called his barracks and suggested that he be sent for some remedial driver training on the use of turn signals and mirrors.
Maryland drivers are horrible, but at least they drive fast.
Not everyone. Just drivers from Massachusetts.
Have you even driven around FL? Those drivers are maniacs.
"Plans called for I-95 to pass through the middle of Hopewell Valley, a majority-white patchwork of farms, small towns, and affluent estates sandwiched between Princeton and the Delaware River."
Stopped reading right there. The Atlantic is more mentally ill than I had imagined. By golly, they were able to introduce race baiting into an innocuous story.
Racial, Racial, Racial!
My stint commuting daily on 95 was in the NE.
Crazy drivers were almost universally guaranteed to have a ‘MA’ tag.
It’s why they are referred to as ‘massholes’.
I used to go to spring training in vero beach (to watch. not to play, of course), and you had to avoid the week from hell;
spring training + biker week in daytona + the wrong schools on spring break + the normal weirdos + normal cocaine traffic to the north east + grandpa and grandma jones = taking your life in your hands.
traffic was either moving at 90 mph, or stopped dead. and it would alternate every few miles.
I agree. Always wondered why they didn’t just rename the NJ turnpike to I-95, same as they did with half of the Beltway. Not sure this new road will be better than Delaware Bridge to start of turnpike.
It’s quite obvious here nobody is familiar with the 91 in California. That is an introduction, gives one a peek into HELL.

How much will the new toll cost?
“Plans called for I-95 to pass through the middle of Hopewell Valley, a majority-white patchwork of farms”
Imagine how miserable you must be if you looked at the world through this prism. I swear if I had to go to work at the Atlantic every day I would be facing the suicide decision on daily bases.
Oh, were you born an @$$hole, or have you practiced all your life?
Either way, turned out the same, ‘cause you’re an @$$hole tonite.
The I-95 Song. From the mid 1980s.
“there is some weird social pathology going on with i-95 that turns everyone who drives on it into a complete asshole.”
Just east coast democrats.
Drive I-95 thru Broward county and Miami.....you see real a$$holes.
That’s why I moved away from there years ago.
I spend as much time away as possible...spend at least 4 months a year in Colombia......much more civilized.
How did I know it was I-95?
Maybe because I’ve had the misfortune of having to drive on it.
