Whenever there is road work during rush hours there’s always a delay sometimes more than other especially on route 32 with sometimes major road work.

I must give the workers a big thank you for the exceptional work they have done even though the weather was so hot most of the time. Thank you from all the commuters of route 32. It is such a pleasure driving there now that it’s not that narrow and winding as before. Thank you workers for all your hard work. May God bless you and your family. "
