TxDOT breaks ground on $1.6B highway construction project

[@gvi341984]

5 years? That's 10 years for something that's not going to fix the problem

[@benjaminingram4857]

Don't forget to add light rail transit for growing population.

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

No, Texas will pay $1T for asphalt before they even consider paying for something like extra light rail.

[@kurtphilly]

It will improve all of those roads for about 5 years. Then back to the status quo. Some of this is probably necessary, but likely not money well spent when you factor in the other ways 1.7B could be spent. what type of pedestrian and bike infrastructure improvements?

[@evanatorgamer]

A lot of news anchors are heavily simplifying the improvements that the project is making. I've looked through schematics to find where bike and pedestrian improvements would be made, but couldn't find any which is unfortunate. TXDot's website has all the schematics detailed down to the inch if you want to check it out for yourself.

Just one more lane.

[@Davis9754]

i like road construction, but i think this much money would better be used for building new or improving rail and bus systems seriously america always puts the roads first

[@hcn6708]

Build more lanes bro just a few more lanes

[@conordrogalis6487]

Lol bike path and pedestrian path. We know you lying now.

[@blahblah06r6]

Someone associated with south point constructors is getting kickbacks for sure...

[@AlexanderOnFire]

Wow zero critical reporting on this.

[@nicolai8820]

My German mind cant comprehend this, it stopped working at 1:50.

[@R0b3rT38]

Just one more lane bro. I swear, we need one more lane

[@JermaniBurroughs]

Cancel this project & use it for High speed rail & Public Transit

[@m3lgar582]

What a waste of money

[@Goodtimenotalongtime]
