Road Construction in St. Louis - DANGER ANYONE?

Question

The Highway Department (MODOT) has totally screwed every main highway and side street in St. Louis! There is no where to go...all the streets are "under construction"!!!!!!!!!! This is extremely dangerous but they do not seem to care at all! A ten minute drive is now 45 minutes!!!!!!!!! There are not even any side-streets because they are all closed off! You cannot go ANYWHERE in St. Louis without getting TRAPPED in ROAD CONSTRUCTION for an hour or so!!! It is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and a HUGE WASTE OF GAS! They are complete IDOTS!

Answer 1

I have gone through St. Louis when they have been doing construction and the really aggravating thing that I have found is that they close a ramp without any warning and no detours posted! Hard enough in a car but in a full road semi, it is really hard since I can't just turn around anywhere, there is no place to stop and look at the atlas and if no one is on the CB, you just sit, pray, and hope! This has happened to me twice! If they would give some advanced notice that a ramp is closed, you would have time to plan another route. Totally messed up and complete idiots is right!

Answer 2

THEY ARE DOING THAT (BS) WHERE I LIVE AND I HAVE YET TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

TOTAL WASTE OF TIME, GAS AND OUR MONEY.
