[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 2859104, member: 9117"] Why not redo I-177. Fences are moved way back, large right of ways. Only 1 stop at H62 between Wellston and Shawnee. Crazy to spend that kind of money on a turnpike when the road(s) are already there. I suspect because somebody who works in the DOT has a "Brother in Law" that owns a construction company. They were going to widen the road between Meeker and Shawnee, about 5 miles, from 2 lanes to 4 lanes. Tore up everything, moved the fences back, widened the shoulders, installed new concrete culverts, did dozer-work, laid sod, took about 2 years and we ended up with 3/4 of a mile of 4 lane. The rest they put back as new 2 lane. Nice new 2 lane road, but had to be a Gigantic boondoggle for somebody. [/QUOTE]
