I have a 2-mile section of my commute that has been under construction for over 6-months. It's a 4-lane road with a center-turn-lane but it doesn't have much traffic, which is why I go that way. During construction it's been reduced to a single lane each direction (but still has the center turn lane available). It appears they are replacing a storm-sewer pipeline that runs under the outer lanes. They are nearly completed and getting ready to repave the entire stretch.

The lanes closures were different this morning with all traffic pushed over to the south side of the road and a single lane for each direction. All was fine, until I look up the road and see a car coming directly toward me in the wrong lane!!! Apparently they didn't notice the new lane configuration and were barreling down the wrong side! I had enough room to get on the other side of the cones and let them pass, but yelled and pointed that they were in the wrong lane. I went over a hill and didn't see if they ever figured it out or not. Just another reminder to myself to NEVER let your guard down.
