It took me 40 minutes to get back from lunch (Shepherd & Alabama to Greenway Plaza). And where it used to take me 8 minutes to get home (Dunlavy/Fairview area), it takes 30 but only because i take every path of least resistance i can find. Now i almost wish I lived in Sugarland. I moved here because of location even though its more expensive and although I live 3.4 miles from work, my boss who lives in Sugarland gets home before me. In California they did this crap at night. But I guess all these guys would be too drunk by then. I am so sick of this. It took me 40 minutes to get back from lunch (Shepherd & Alabama to Greenway Plaza).

Finish the effing mess, lease those shops in whatever that goofy mall is called and plant the new trees. I’m with you, Groove.

Stop construction? They certainly aren't going to remove the barriers and open all the lanes. What difference does it make if they are working or not, the roads will still be a mess, traffic will still be bad and the job will still be incomplete. Hurry up and finish the job! What?

I drive this stretch every morning and they're constantly changing the lanes based on what they're working on that week. There are at least two sets of yellow lane markers so sometimes it's tough to know if you're even driving on the correct side of the street! You’re not kidding about the lanes being poorly marked.
