Personally, I believe that the construction could have been timed better. At the 231 & 167 intersection the construction company had traffic tied up before Thanksgiving fom 7:30 am until well after lunch. I work very near by and saw no work being done until after noon even though the lanes were blocked off and traffic was snarled. Could it be that the company doing this work got angry because they had to redo part of their work and decided to show the the people of Troy their displeasure??? Personally - I think that was the case. Do it right the first time and just as a suggestion to the engineers, use concrete like the one at Henderson highway and 231. Have you noticed that it is under repair far less often??

I know I felt frustrated just coming back from Wal-Mart. I cannot imagine the frustation losing time while traveling or coming home from a day's work and having to sit in traffic.
Reminds me of gridlock in California on the freeways. A normal 15 minute ride on a Sunday morning would take 45 minutes to an hour through the work week.
Not as bad in Troy of course but still frustrating on 231.
