Is there a bigger shite show than the Walker I-12 exit "improvement"?

Despite untold investment in redoing the interchange with the damn roundabout that no one can properly traverse, there continues to be a mile long string of traffic sitting on the shoulder of I-12 waiting to exit every day.

WTF

Was just there yesterday and you right it’s terrible. I usually like the round abouts but that thing is confusing as all hell.

The Covington/Madisonville and Covington/Mandeville exits off I-12 would put the Walker I-12 exit to shame.

It's still a construction zone without all of the lanes open, so I'll give it time before I call it a complete cluster frick.

It's still not complete. I'll reserve my criticism for when the job is done

My guess is unless the Walker South Rd bridge that goes over I-12 is expanded to 4 lanes it will always be a shite show.

I've never seen anyone have trouble with that roundabout. Don't really know what you're talking about.

Drive through Jacksonville AR, then you can say yes to your question.

I pass the mile of cars off on the shoulder every day, wondering why nobody just gets off at juban. the best is the number of LPs finest that block the right lane on 12 trying to late-merge

I'll take this opportunity to repeat the one and only plank in my gubernatorial campaign...close and dismantle all LP interchanges on 12 and make 12 an expressway from Hammond to O'Neal

Yes.
The concrete medians constructed in orange beach that don't allowing crossing lanes, forcing u-turns everywhere will be studied in civil engineering textbooks on what not to do for years to come.

You people do not bother researching or reading the paper or even Googling before you come here to bitch.

It will be multiple lanes when done. But it’s not right now.

The overpass will be 4 lanes when done. But it’s not right now.

It is a bitch. But it won’t be forever.

Don’t let that stop you dumbasses from bitching about a construction project that’s not done like it’s some completed project.
