For the past few weeks, Augusta has seemed to turn into a big clump of detours. And I'm not just talking about the I-20/Bobby Jones mess. I've been running into detours everywhere!

For instance, I live out by the airport. As I was headed to school today, and was only about 1 mile from my house, I was detoured from Hwy56 because of an accident that closed all 4 lanes. So I made a quick turn, hoping I could jump on 56-spur and go the back way to school. Well, all was going good until I was almost to Gordon Hwy, where I was then detoured because of road construction. To make a long story short, a trip that is usually about 14 miles/ 20 minutes, turned into 19 miles/ 35 minutes. Needless to say, I was late to class today.

And don't even get me started on the 1-20/Bobby Jones construction disaster! I seriously think someone totally screwed up the construction blue prints for that area. Road closings and detours keep increasing in number, while the number of workers appear to be decreasing. There seems to be no end it sight.
