In April, I contacted the FDOT by email about this project. Here is the non-answer that they provided.

"Thank you for reaching out!

This project has not been placed on hold.
There are different factors that may affect work on the construction site that can range from weather to labor and materials issues, among other reasons.
I will make sure to voice your concerns to the project team and please be rest assured that they are doing their best to move things along and get the job done.

kind regards,

High amounts of methane gas being emitted from the ground
Unfortunately many construction projects, like roads and bridges just get rolled over…

It's a different part of the state, but you have to wonder if any of the resources (Labor, money, materials) will be diverted to the hurricane area...

A worker was killed at the overpass curve. OSHA will sometimes shut work down.

They do not get out of the villages, they still have lots of work here.

See Post No. 3. The worker was killed in February. But, in April, the FDOT said that the project is not on hold.

Supposedly the bride over Route 25 is the hang up. A worker died in a construction accident shortly after they started. More recently a sinkhole swallowed one or more of the bridge supports. Maybe it is haunted or cursed, this is the Deep South, doncha know.

Still, no excuse for not getting the rest of the work done. Those Bozos would never get away with the delay in Chicago for sure.
