Umm, Elpresidente,

I haven't a clue? I am a certified construction inspector with multiple credentials. I have made comment on this blog about the Apponaug Circulator numerous times with regard to QUALITY ASSURANCE and CODE COMPLIANCE. If you have followed this project since 2014 you would see that the cost more than doubled and that there were code compliance issues since day 1. The project has caused unnecessary interruptions in the local community that largely could have been mitigated by night work, and compliance to code.

Having said that, there is much to this project that could have been cut out to save money. Look at the stamped concrete. Not 1 batch matches in color to the batch next to it. The raised concrete cross walks are ridiculous and will be destroyed in a couple of winters. They should have just been painted cross walks. The majority of the plantings wont last, they have already been dug up twice at the 1st round about near the railroad overpass. More waste.

Just because the design is approved by the FHWA doesnt mean that it will fit with the local traffic flow. At 3pm any day, the north bound traffic from East G on Post Rd is backed up for miles as the "roundabout in front of Cumberland Farms is ridiculous. By the way, accidents have sky rocketed.
