It will just take another 15 years of dealing with that nightmare of a road to get 2 more lanes on each side. Well at least by then the road will be wide enough for the new 750 HP, 1090 lb torque, V12, desiel, bobtail, 10 wheeler Titans coming out in 2015!  |
That last line is funny. The sad fact about roadway projects in Florida is that they will never end. The population booms and we can't keep up. We have a saying in the civil engineering field, "Build it and they will come". If we added 12 lanes to I-4, it would still be packed at rush hour eventualy and that's just the way it works. in my 13 years in this business, I have yet to see roadway improvements that made a difference for long but it keeps food on my table and a Titan in the drive.
