Good stuff. Seems like a really fun job.Cichlidae posted:
Can you tell us a bit more about the Cheshire 84 fiasco and highway construction in general? i.e. Do contractors pretty much have free will as they wish with the project? Im sure they have a contract... but it makes me wonder if they can put in non functional catch basins, what is preventing them from using sub par materials in construction? Also HOV lanes, which mostly get blocked by buses and slow cabbies... why not convert them to 2 additional regular lanes? Why/Who in their right mind thought it was OK to have all major highways in CT run right smack through major cities and intersect in hartford?

Kemian posted:Here's a question I've wondered about for a while: Why is the speed limit on I-84 50-55 between Waterbury and Hartford? It seems like people still go 65-70, but what's the thinking behind having that stretch be so much lower than most of the other highways that go through non-city areas? Actually 691 to Waterbury has a 45 limit... eeek Cichlidae, thanks for your explanation... good stuff!

smackfu posted:Unless he meant the ramp only? Nope... all the way from Cheshire infamous construction to Waterbury is 45... I'll snap a pic today if I'll remember Edit: I stand corrected, its 55... 45 must have got stuck in my head from construction time.

smackfu posted:No worries, everyone always drives 80 through there anyway, since it's straight and flat. They definitely did a nice job on that stretch.
