Road construction

[Bagman]

I live in rural Florida. I have a 15 mile ride on a part 60mph 2 lane road and also a newly finished section of 4 lane road. They just started construction on the remaining 6 miles of 2 lane to upgrade to 4 lane. It will be nice when done but what a mess in the mean time. 100's of dump trucks bringing in fill for the new road. No reduction in speed limit. And a bunch of idiots tryin to pass trucks etc. Needless to say the total for me is 1 cracked windshield in my bucket and 1 cracked windshield in my work van. I think i will postpone driving to work in the bucket for a bit. I guess this is just a rant for now.

Where about in Florida is this "great" road? I live in Florida and would like to avoid this "road".
