I just drove that stretch last month, if you dare go in the left lane you better be doing 80 plus, and when have you EVER seen a cop driving below the posted speed limit?
I drive it every two weeks. That entire zone is posted at 45. If you drove 45 you would be rear ended in the first mile. I worry that I will get nailed every time I make the trip.
This construction project is going to end up being about 3 years long. That is a long time for a revenue enhancement scheme . . .
