Wow!!! I can't imagine how many hi-way construction company employees this project will retire since the beginning of realigning and expansion of I 45 south from Beltway south to the Texas City Wye. To say nothing of the Texas Department of Transportation bureaucrats and employees will have retired when it is completed. Sorta like the I 10 to Winnie; it was being expanded when I lived in Port Arthur in '66-'69 and was just finishing when I came to Friendswood in 1980. Now they've started another stretch along I 10. "Shovel ready"
