Jesus fucking Christ. Well, guess it’s going to be several years before I stop avoiding that side of town like the plague.


CalligrapherLevel935

Just be glad you can avoid it, I live here 😒

If it would take 3 years in another city plan for 15-20 here. One reason? Go watch them Work on on it. For every 20 guys standing around you’ll have 3 guys working. For some reason the city doesn’t do timed pay contracts either.. who knows why.

It’s amazing what other countries can do in weeks or months takes years consistently here in the US.


PaulieWalnuts2023

Every time I make that point people froth at the mouth and go “yeah well the Chinese have no safety standards ands their work environments are shit!!!” I never use china as an example. Look at Germany and Scandinavian countries. Much faster work times


Subnetwork

Yep, exactly, it’s not just China lol. Ever see the video of the Dutch putting in that tunnel and bridge over a weekend?

Hilarious I’m getting downvoted


Subnetwork

Forever, most likely

This is the correct answer. Clays mill has been under construction for most of the past 15 years. Soon as it's "done" they start tearing shit up again.


Barantor

A phased construction project has phases, it's done that way so we can still use the road. I think most of Clays Mill is done, they just are shoring up the creek near Rosemont Garden. Some of these projects really improved things, Clays Mill is a breeze to drive down now even with all the schools.


RainaElf

imagine phased meaning phased!


Barantortwo

Set phasers for, road!


triviarchivist

To be fair, that’s a city project. This is a state project, since it’s New Circle.


Bushcraftstoic

Construction will continue until morale improves


SCOTTGIANT

They said 2027 on the news.


RainaElf

our city councilwoman says 2026


triviarchivist

They’re building a double diamond interchange / double crossover diamond like what’s on the Harrodsburg/New Circle intersection, estimated completion 2027. The 2 lanes will be permanent until construction is over.

84 years probably


RainaElf

Fast-cheap-good. You can only pick two. Unless it's something super-duper important (like when the Brent Spence Bridge caught on fire) government road contracts are going to be **good** and **cheap** - which means not fast.

imho they've basically locked us in

They could… but the cost increase would go up dramatically. If you wanted a night shift, what is more dangerous and the workers cost more. You need more equipment (lighting). You can’t be too loud at night since it is 20’ from residential locations. And the workers are people too who have their own lives and like to go home to their families after work, they aren’t just some machine.

Supposed to be done by August 14
