Noticed that nothing was said about US 29 from 9 1/2 Mile Rd to I 10…has not been alot going on there?
They don’t work on it at all. I’ve been through there day and night and they’re never there. They have screwed around and gotten so far behind on 9 mile road that they’re putting everything else off. Roads Inc. seems to be good at starting a job but can’t finish one. 9 mile road should be renamed Avalon Blvd. because it’s exactly like that train wreck was for years.
They must work at night. I travel 29 from I-10 to nine mile road daily and haven”t seen road workers in over a month. Clear days or not, they are a no show.
