Highway Chaos!

I don't know how many of you take the highway to get places but for me I use it for everything. From going to family's houses, to going to the mall, or driving to school in the city. There is now construction from the exit Thorndale to the City, its a 27 mile stretch. This started April 1, 2010 and who knows when it will end, they may have given an end date but who would believe it, we all know how long it takes the government to get something done, let alone done right.
I don't know how much more I can take with all this construction going on. For something that took me only a half hour to get to now takes me more than an hour. You seriously have to sit and plan the night before when to leave your house if you have to be somewhere because the traffic is a killer and if your like me, a person who has a little to much road rage, you want to leave earlier than you normally would. I don't know exactly what they are trying to do to the highway but hopefully fill some of these potholes. How are you taking these changes because for me its just a really big pain in the butt. And now they are trying to raise the toll just so that they can gain money for these roads, I mean isn't the government taking enough money from us already.
