I'm stuck and have been for 20 minutes. What's going on?

Edit: one vehicle accident. Apparently someone doesn't know how to pull a trailer with a law mower without going into the ditch...

It's usually pretty bad this time of the evening around the 73 intersection

I take this route everyday. This is 1,000x worse. Something is going on and it's big.

When is 73 gonna be finished with construction? My god that road is a dumpster fire. I avoid it at all costs and take 621 to get to airline.

Schools back in too so maybe that's got something to do with it.

Because this is the OT, plenty plant operators make relief between 5 and 530 and plug the roads up pretty bad for about an hour

Never at the pace they're going. They've been halfway done for about 8 months. Keep having to redo everything.

My guess is at least 6 months before all cones are clear

Where at on 74? They had some idiot run off the road at 74, just south of Dutchtown, a few miles before 3115 (road to Williams) just this morning. Had 74 backed up all the way to Bluff Rd. Even had Deputy Dipshit in his Popo SUV go against traffic on that little 2 lane just so he could get to a scene where 3 cops already were. Idiots all around.


ETA: Hoping this is 74 toward Airline and not Bluff Rd. I'm in St Gabriel and gonna be clocking out soon.

WTF is going on to be this incompetent?

I blame the state going with the lowest bidding contractor.

Louisiana DOT doing work.

Lol, it's hilarious how we have a horrible DOT that can't plan ahead with infrastructure worth a shite when we live next to a state, Texas, that has a DOT that gets shite cracking the moment there's a problem or seeing a growing trend as opposed to Louisiana DOT sitting on their asses until its too late. It's like night and day with these two states.
