It's happening! The bypass will get a third lane. Construction between 21 & Fitch starting in 2022.
I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.

Hopefully that "considering final action" turns into funded as the expansion will be greatly needed in the coming years.

no... but now the people that drive 60 to 65 will now have another lane to drive in while not passing anyone.

oh and it probably means all those exits they just re-did will be torn up to make room for new lanes.

And the poor souls who have to drive farther south than Fitch. Think of the backups that will occur as the road necks down from 3 lanes to 2.

Yup. I see it on I35 all the time, and anywhere a highway necks down to fewer lanes. Granted we're not at Interstate volume, but I could see some congestion around 5-6 pm every day.

So some congestion at that point for an hour a day is worse than the congestion we have today all the way up to that point?

"hey everyone, there are fixing a problem that will alleviate issues for 90% of the people, but since it won't fix it 100% of the way, I'm going to whine and complain about it."

Oh no. I'm not saying that at all. I welcome our three lane expansion, as my thumbs up in the OP indicates.

LOL at your reading fail. And those who starred it.

I agree. It should be 3 lanes to peach creek/speedway or the Santa's wonderland place. Doesn't make sense for it to end abruptly at WDF.

I miss Ornlu. When Ornlu (I'm pretty sure that is the name) used to post here, Ornlu could tell you down to the Lincoln penny how much extra it would cost to extend the road past Fitch to where you refer. I suspect some of their thinking is that the cost would be way too great at a time when there are other roads needing attention.

Nah, they'll probably utilize the center median and fill it in with proper drainage and put the concrete dividers down the middle to separate it.

I wonder if adding a third lane will cause them to redo all the entry/exit lanes again.......

This is way too late. With all of the expansion south, it really needs to be three lanes past the speedway. It should be four lanes between Fitch and 21.

I have a feeling that once construction starts, you will not see many thumbs up.

Yes but now they'll be in the middle lane because that's always the best place for the slowest people on the road!

Oooh. How will this affect the mini-master at Rudder/Tx Ave/Rock Prairie before Barron? Maybe they'll finally do something to keep you people from running little old ladies and children off the road to turn right on Graham. I'm hoping for spike strips or land mines.

In all sincerity, people who do this are terrible human beings.

It isn't already 3 lanes? Is part of it? I feel like it's that wide when I drive from College Station to Bryan. Is my memory just bad, or am I counting a temporary merging lane as one of the lanes?
