COMMENTARY
road construction
(Mike Allen)

Ah road construction. It’s something I’ve dealt with my entire driving life, and it’s not going to end anytime soon in Oklahoma City. The same can probably be said for Tulsa.

Road construction is one of the downsides to growth, I think, or perhaps it’s a lack of foresight from the original engineers of the highway system here. I’m not going to ever be certain of the reasons, but much like erratic weather and onion burgers, road construction seems to be a staple of living in Oklahoma. Far into the future, when we’re all old and gray, we should throw a parade when it’s completely done. I can’t wait to have my autonomous driving car get me there to watch it.
