freeway construction
Building major roads
Freeway construction is the building or expansion of controlled-access highways.
The phrase often refers to the disruption caused by such projects—lane closures, detours, and traffic delays that can persist for months or years: Freeway construction turned my twenty-minute commute into an hour.
The work itself involves heavy equipment, concrete barriers, and seemingly endless orange cones.
