    Construction areas?

    Who knows?

    I read some of the comments on the facebook sites and it mentioned construction.

    I have not been through the area in months.

    the area is flat straight road the problem is construction they are pushing everyone into the outside lane right after the 112 exit by the TA meaning that every truck looking to exit the east bound at 112 is pushing others into the hammer lane that is closed within 300 feet from the exit that is what i saw and that is what i think does not mean i am right...
