What a surprise. It's summer, its Penndot. Why not finish their other construction sites before starting new ones? Take Rt 19 near Wexford, for example. This chaos has been going on for months and months. They could have built a subway to downtown Pittsburgh in all the time they have been screwing around with this disaster.
