I swear I never see more than 6 people working on the entire stretch on any day.
I know they had to build the bridge over Dawson's Creek and put in underground sewer lines, but the sewers seem to have been done for a year now, and bridge work went relatively quick compared the actual road/lane building, curb & median work.

I don't understand why they didn't put a turning lane all the way down the road. Instead they separated the east/westbound lanes. That really makes no sense to me.

I agree. I haven't willingly driven on O'neal in probably 15 years because it's always a construction clusterfrick.
I don't know what they are doing there, but they can apparently only cover a few inches a month.

That's the thing. It mostly went up quickly but the bulk of it has seemingly been done but they are taking forever to do the little things.

Safety. There is a reason why a center continuous turn lane is also called a suicide lane. DOTD is moving away from them as well as a lot of municipalities.

O'Neal started 9/28/2009

*Staring
I say it as the present progressive form of "stare." As in, "He is staring at the sun."
It drives me crazy that people pronounce it as though it has 2 "r" in it. As in "Two and a Half Men is now starring Ashton Kutcher."

and the fricking Woodlake bridge.
City Parish needs to do something on both of these projects. Oneal was supposed to be a 2 year project that is now 4 and Woodlake Bridge was supposed to be closed for 6 months now it is approaching 2 years. For people who live near Runnels/St Jean those are the only 2 ways out of our subdivisions.
I have written letters to Boe our councilmen complaining and although he expressed his disapointment with the contractors, he blamed the delays on the utility companies not moving utilites fast enough. Either way it has been way to long.
What pisses me off the most is after all these delays/construction the frick tards designed the ONeal/S Harrells Ferry intersection with only one through lane going west on Harrells Ferry so I still have to wait 2 light cycles at times. Piss poor design.

You are wrong on this. The plans actually call for two through lanes from the east side of the O'Neal section to line up with the two through lanes on the west side. It was actually constructed this way at first. It was supposed to be one left, two through lanes and one right turn lane. You need to ask Boe or previous councilman why they begged DPW Engineers to have this changed to what is out there today (two lefts, one through and one right). Engineers had it correct in the plans and politicians needs to stay the hell out of the way.
