Let's see hummm. The freeways that were replaced a few years back still managed to have orange barrels lining them sliding traffic so that the newly replaced section could be replaced once more. Each year Jefferson from downtown north to Alter had the orange barrels line the strip due to repaying or some work being done. The roads here on the Westside such as Schoolcraft, Joy Road, Puritan, etc are still in badly need of repaving. Did you know that these slowdown decreases your gas mileage causing you to have to take sooner trips to the gas stations or for smaller engines the repair shop due to stresses brought on to them. Why not have alternative roads that motorist could travel while the main roads are being worked on.
