Montgomery County residents and business owners are calling it a highway headache.
TxDOT says they are installing medians for safety and lowering the speed limit from 55 to 45. The project started earlier this year but only a few miles have since been completed. Now, residents are fed up with the delays.“I wish this has never happened,” explained Cataline Zajick of the Naked Turtle Tavern. Zajick says she is not only annoyed but angry about the construction delays and safety concerns with this project.
She explained that on her drive home from work Wednesday evening, another driver hit one of the barrels on the road and it flew underneath her car, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage.She says the construction is affecting not only business and her commute but also causing her anxiety on the road.
Other locals like Tim Reid say what is supposed to ultimately make a road safer is in fact making it more dangerous than ever. But even more than the ongoing headache from construction, both Reid and Zajick say this massive project doesn’t seem like it was even worth it.
