For those who do not know, I have a 30-mile commute on Interstate 20 to the office. Since mid January, there has been construction on that route around the Haughton exit.
If you are traveling to Bossier on I-20, you have two choices, stay on I-20 or take U.S. Hwy. 80.
During the past few weeks, I have tried both routes and neither one is any better than the other. In fact, I have come to the conclusion that you might as well stay on the Interstate. I've tried to take the "alternate route," but usually end up getting stuck in traffic with other "alternate routers."
Perhaps the most frustrating part of it all is the inconsistency of the traffic. Some days I make it through with barely a slowdown. Other days, you find yourself at a standstill for what seems like an eternity.
I know we will all be happier when the work is done and we have a smooth interstate on which to travel. Until then (my apologies to Johnny Cash):
I see that sign a comin'
It's up around the bend
And my car ain't been movin'
Since I don't know when
I'm stuck in backed-up traffic
And time keeps draggin' on
But the lane keeps on mergin'
To my work and home.
May the Blog Be With You.
