Sigh.

More roadwork in Amarillo. Will it ever end?

Texas transportation work crews are repaving the Canyon E-Way southbound. They’ve closed the inside lane, narrowing traffic to just a single lane for portion of the way. All this road construction makes me appreciate the finished product.

They’ll be resurfacing the highway, presumably to a smooth finish that makes our vehicles travel quietly over them. I dislike intensely the rough surfaces that make the tires roar under my car, or under my wife’s truck. Why? I cannot hear the radio when I’m driving. Thus, I have to turn the thing way up.

The road work is a bit of an annoyance, I’ll admit. But I do appreciate the end of it, and not just because those ubiquitous orange cones will disappear — until TxDOT decides to tear up the next road.
