I’ve been driving it every day and the current construction still doesn’t clog things up as bad as going through any of the tunnels on a good day. 28 drivers are just sociopaths.

I will say it’s super annoying that they close off lanes seemingly at random, so every day you’re caught off guard by when you’re supposed to merge.

For the hell of it, I went on google street view back to 2007 and clicked down route 28, and it’s wild how there where literally sidewalks and houses inbound from 40th street down. Could you imagine living there???

Also, the current construction is kid stuff compared to when they were redo-ing 31st street and it took half and hour minimum just to get past the heinz lofts

… don’t you miss when it was a weird city grid with people trying to gun it in and of businesses and cars parked half on the sidewalk?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Aldi moved in. that plaza is unusually far away from the nearest store for as high traffic as it is, they’re pretty aggressive about expansion and probably don’t like how much area Giant Eagle’s getting to itself there.
