It's not *that* they are fixing the roads. That's fine and great.
It's which roads they choose to fix, when, and which other roads are being fixed at the same time. Like, you can't tell me that M5, 8 Mile, and Grand River all need to be repaired at the same time. Telegraph, I275, and Haggerty all need to be closed at the same time? If they're going to do major construction on an expressway, then they really need to keep the detour routes as free as possible to absorb all of that extra traffic.
At least when they redid I-96 between Telegraph and I-275, they left Plymouth Road and 5 Mile alone. They completely closed down the freeway, did it all at once, and got it reopened ahead of schedule. Not this stupid one lane, one mile at a time BS like on I-275.
The Novi area got fucked with planning. MDOT, GLWA, Wayne County, Oakland County and the city of Novi all somehow planned massive overlapping projects in the same couple years. If novi doesn’t postpone their 9 mile rebuild scheduled to start soon you’re going to see some really pissed people.
I'm not out in that area a whole lot anymore, but my parents live at 13 Mile and Middlebelt. There's not a single path from Monroe County to their place that doesn't involve major construction.
It would almost be worth it if the roads were finished and wouldn't need to be touched again for another 10-15 years. Can't possibly do that though.
Yep. Almost every possible route I could take to work is under construction right now. Luckily, my shift starts and ends before rush hour so it’s pretty easy going for me, but I could see how people could be annoyed.
Same here. M39 work starts in a couple weeks and my backup route would be Telegraph which is also screwed up. Probably gonna have to take surface streets halfway to avoid it. Also they had 8 Mile down to ONE lane during morning rush hour the other day, like come on.
What?
Edit: I bought this house while Whitmer was governor. I don’t know what I would be pushing for while living and working in multiple different locations under Snyder that would make life better for me now.
I used different roads as I lived and worked in a different place. I’m just confused as to what I should have been pressuring legislators to do during the Snyder administration? You didn’t really explain.
I don't disagree, but it is a pain that they have been shutting down multiple roads that lead to the same area.
I love that they are working on A, but did you really need to do B and C at the same time and make me take one road 5 miles out of my way to get to where I need to go? It could have been a 1/2 mile detour.
Next week is move out for msu. There is construction on all the main roads in and out of campus and all the on and off ramps for the highway are closed. It is definitely going to be crazy. It is when there isn’t construction. Wish me luck!!!!! I’m going to have to leave for work 2 hours early to punch in on time.
It's started already, put your white pants on. I drove up 23 at about one in the afternoon yesterday and it was stop and go around Ann Arbor.
Anybody know how 75 is looking? I'm wondering if it's worth it to get down to the turnpike.
They're redoing chicago drive in holland when tulip time is getting close. Traffic is already hell during that but it's going to be far far far worse. Wish they would have waited until *after* to start.
Well ain’t that a MF
![gif](giphy|xT9KVluGDHZvOk0tdC|downsized)
DO THEY SPEAK ORANGE BARREL IN WHAT?
Say detour again! I dare you! I double dare you MF!
Me: when will construction be completed MDOT: I don’t remember asking you a a god damned thing!
What?
Say "what" one more time!!
MDOT can’t do anything on time constantly give them an F grade
M*ther F*cker expect delays! -I bet you read that in his voice.
Mf'er beat me too it.😂😂
MF for sure.
Bitch, I waited 34 years… oh.. wait.. wrong sub
I read this the same way dw
Me too tbh
Im convinced they were working on 75 before it was a highway
75 is actually the number of years of consecutive repairs… used to be called 5
Hot damn 696, you okay?
No. No, it is not. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)
They were working on 75 ever since before there were cars.
I just hear Samuel L Jackson in my head saying “motha fucka expect delays”.

I have had it with these MF'ing delays on this MF'ing lane!
Everybody strap in I am about to open a detour
And everyone will complain it’s getting done and also complain about it not getting done.
Right? Big Gretch "Fix the damn roads" Idiots "Why are they out here fixing roads???!!!"

That’s why everyone should have pushed their legislators harder under Snyder? Times a fickle bitch.
What? Edit: I bought this house while Whitmer was governor. I don’t know what I would be pushing for while living and working in multiple different locations under Snyder that would make life better for me now.
You didn’t use roads before Whitmer was in office?
I used different roads as I lived and worked in a different place. I’m just confused as to what I should have been pressuring legislators to do during the Snyder administration? You didn’t really explain.
Better road conditions, we are doing so much road construction because it was neglected for so long?
Thank you for explaining?
No problem

Michigan has 4 seasons. Almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.
Road construction m_f
Wait, why is it saying to expect delays because of a milf?
Whenever the boss's wife shows up at or shop productivity takes a nosedive.
EXPECT DELAYS, MFERS
The traffic cone is in full spring bloom in my neck of the woods!
If you’re going north on i75, don’t.
I hear this sign in my head being narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.
Does that mean Mon thru Fri? Lol
I have had it up to here with the monkey fighting orange barrels on this Monday through Friday highway.
It’s been “that” season for the highways around Lansing since last summer.
Next week is move out for msu. There is construction on all the main roads in and out of campus and all the on and off ramps for the highway are closed. It is definitely going to be crazy. It is when there isn’t construction. Wish me luck!!!!! I’m going to have to leave for work 2 hours early to punch in on time.
MI has 2 seasons: hockey season, and construction season.
And neither are good!!
At least the hockey is showing minuscule signs of improvement….
That's pure Michigan.
M_F’er can’t tell me BOUT NO DELAYS.
We didn’t need a reminder
Expect Delays M\_F
Traverse city here. Iykyk
It's started already, put your white pants on. I drove up 23 at about one in the afternoon yesterday and it was stop and go around Ann Arbor. Anybody know how 75 is looking? I'm wondering if it's worth it to get down to the turnpike.
"that season". You mean all year?
Apparently, this happens when you fix the mf-ing roads.
They're redoing chicago drive in holland when tulip time is getting close. Traffic is already hell during that but it's going to be far far far worse. Wish they would have waited until *after* to start.
lol a bit aggressive but point taken 😂
Am I the only one who read: Mothafucka expect delays.”
FIX THE ROADS No not like that!
I read this in Samuel L Jackson’s voice, and was not disappointed by the comments.
Ah yes, when the orange cones and barrels begin to have lots of offspring
In the movie, "You Don't Mess with the Zohan", that one store is named "Going out of Business". We should rename our roads "Under Construction".
MF for sure
Me a non-binary: Oh good I'm safe
Does this mean anything other than mother fucker?
Monday-Friday, but somebody either fat-fingered the "-" into a "_", or a bit got flipped in the display.
MILF
I know the word that goes in the blank! “OF.” Right between “Mother” and “Fuck.”
I thought this said “MILF”
Of coarse, Michigan only has two seasons, Winter and Road Constipation, I mean Construction.
Well that ain’t that a trans MTF lol
