Lol they love to just waste money.
I’m looking forward to the improvements as they benefit the only highways I drive.
“Construction of … vehicle turn outs.” If only slow drivers know what these are and put them to use… Maybe bigger signs that say: “Slow vehicles (THAT MEANS YOU!) Use turnouts.”
They just added wider shoulders and more safe pull-off spaces on lord-ellis… I was hoping they were going to widen it enough to put in a passing lane or turnout on the westbound side.
The two “Chain-on areas with lighted additions” between Douglas City and Buckhorn, (one on each side of the road) seem in odd places to me, but then again, what do I know…..
