“But I-95’s completion isn’t a standalone feat. Local transportation planners claim it will herald a larger accomplishment.”
Yeah, New Jersey doing something to improve anything.
PA’s new “governor” shut down a highway project that would connect Somerset PA to Maryland. There was 6 miles left.
about 10 hotels in Somerset were set to be built, providing hundreds of jobs both now and later. They are now stalled. Investors pulled out leaving piles of dirt in their place.
Hotels and restaurants already existing in the area had borrowed millions to improve and get ready for the new traffic. They too now default on payments and their facilities are left in shambles.
6 MILES OF ROAD and this dipstick governor had to shut it down.
I have nothing to add to this discussion other than stating that I DESPISE I-95.

Need to get some bulldozers out there and create a "construction zone" (dirt road)
