Exit 20 Fiasco

  • Tuesday, June 30, 2015

  As one who travels to Atlanta 2-3 times a week, I am amazed at the miles of bridges that have been built this year. It really is impressive. Then I come home and pass exit 20 in Cleveland and can't help but ask myself, how long have has this construction project been underway?

      There are days I go by there and might see five people working. It's a short little bridge - I'm thinking the lowest bid wasn't the way to go. 
 
      Atlanta has literally built miles of bridge and elevated roads since the exit 20 project began.
Meantime, the traffic jam continues. 
 
What's the deal?
