GovGuam's apparent love to tear up roads and make driving on island purposely bad.

We all remember the infamous tri-intersection road project that was suppose to have been completed by a certain date, than the completion date was pushed back, and then pushed back even further owing to one issue or another....turning a normally quick drive through Barrigada and Mangilao into at best, a literal nightmare.

Now, another road project is about to begin...brought to you by the awesome planners at the Department of Public Works; this despite work still ongoing at the tri-intersection area, several locations in the southeast and southern portions of the island, and work still being done on Route 7a in Hagatna.

The people who have to navigate the soon to be terror that will be in Hagatna are told the same thing they were told when the tri-intersection was being worked on: WE HAVE EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL, WE'VE LEARNED FROM OUR MISTAKES, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE WORK ON THIS ROAD, IT IS BEST WE DO IT NOW, WE KNOW WHAT IS BEST SO YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND WAIT UNTIL WE ARE DONE.

If the work to redo the bridge in Hagatna was SO IMPORTANT, why couldn't it have been worked on BEFORE the tri-intersection area was torn up? Two years (if we are lucky) is the expected time of completion for the soon to be affected area in Hagatna, let us pray that two years doesn't end up turning into five years.
