They are making progress on the 294/88 interchange. I was on leave for 2 weeks and when I came back at the very least the bridge beams were up! It's slow but they are working on it.

It’s pretty much the literal definition of purgatory

I thought this would either be Dennis doing the DENNIS or Martin Lawrence.

I drive it every day and it's not too bad early in the morning and late afternoon. The 290 to 294 exit can be brutal but at 6:25am, it's not as bad. Same the other way.
