PING!
I would have thought that Florida’s Turnpike is the largest road project in Florida’s history? 😮
The interstate was a federal project so it doesn’t count!
I live here and can tell you that con$truction/repair on I-4 will never $top.
Sounds like WAY more than 2.4 Billion!
This, of course, means lots more real estate for some rather impressive smash-up accidents involving (deep breath):
tourists (especially foreigners renting vehicles who are not used to driving on US roads especially frantically busy ones)
senior citizens with cataracts and slow responses
illegals in rickety trucks & vans often towing trailers with equipment flopping around on them
tuners ie kids in relatively inexpensive vehicles made expensive through aftermarket parts who drive like it’s a video game
normal persons attempting to negotiate the slalom course
Somehow police & emergency services have been press-ganged into becoming the ‘accident reconstruction’ teams for insurance companies using your tax dollars instead of the insurers’ own funds. This means a tedious, pedantic multi-hour closure of a highway or multiple lanes while they mark and measure instead of doing what they should do: clear the damn roadway as quickly as possible.
It will never be “done.”
No longer.
