With a few exceptions, of course. I've got a call in to ITD to see what the thought process is behind this project's timeline/setup and will report back when I get info.KMPO Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626399456241461295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516489698709733381.post-38288548131531618202010-04-21T10:57:35.699-07:002010-04-21T10:57:35.699-07:00Restricting an interstate to one lane, 24/7, for a...Restricting an interstate to one lane, 24/7, for a month should be unacceptable. It's as if commerce isn't a consideration. Never mind convenience. And why does it take 20 days to pave and stripe? <br /><br />That said, there seems to be a way of thinking around here that the only way to work on a road project is to shut the whole thing down for the ease and convenience of the job. (Ex: 4th Street in CdA last summer.) Why can't things be phased to keep streets open?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516489698709733381.post-81565049257551184652010-04-21T07:56:21.887-07:002010-04-21T07:56:21.887-07:00We had this discussion in the office yesterday Ano...We had this discussion in the office yesterday Anonymous and asked 'Why not do a project this big at night?' or 'Why not do all the bridges at once so the entire project doesn't take 1 1/2 months?' I think this is going to take some further research to find out what ITD was thinking on this one.KMPO Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626399456241461295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516489698709733381.post-33890330123121813222010-04-20T19:26:55.144-07:002010-04-20T19:26:55.144-07:00Why close a lane?
