Open Thread: Construction Construction Everywhere

What's your construction horror story?

Construction to the right of them. Construction to the left of them. Construction in front of them. Volley'd and thunder'd!

Construction is one of those necessary evils that all drivers must bear, but that doesn't make it any less unpleasant. I daresay anyone in Oak Creek who has to go anywhere will come face-to-face with it in no time flat.

Those commuting anywhere along Interstate 94 will inevitably deal with the horrific traffic caused by it. Others traveling north towards Oshkosh will face the same thing. Drivers coming from Waukesha, Mukwonago and Brookfield are also in the thick of it. And - of course - things around town in Oak Creek aren't exactly smooth sailing.
