Sounds like someone who's never in their life driven in Austin.
It wouldn't surprise me to find it's nearly a half dozen per year, on a slow year. I only drive down there a few times a year and yet almost every time I go on my random route at least two stretches of road are just radically different from the last time I drove on it.
Sometimes it really feels like Texas' biggest industry is highway bridge/overpass construction.
If you've never experienced the rapid redevelopment of Texas exurbs and what not it's something of a marvel to behold, like watching a train wreck take place over months.
I always find it crazy these developments aren’t on maps.
Like did a bunch of teenagers sneak out at night and build a highway?
How hard can it be to have a process where mapping companies can register with a state’s DoT and get information when they build stuff?
