Of course it is taking so long many of us will not live to see it.

I despise government and government waste as much as anybody but there will only be a handful of folks who will not be happy to see the Eggners Ferry Bridge gone.
I was curious about the need for four lanes on 68-80 as I was driving on it. I can't say that I have ever gotten west of Cadiz and thought, "Man, this sure needs to be four lanes."

What is the I-69 corridor thing supposed to do exactly?
