Boucherie Road changes

What's going to happen to Safari Ridge? I love going to that place and the winery next to it?

judging by the picture nothing will happen to either if they can survive the construction chaos

Yes Safari paintball is still where it always was and will not be affected. The new winery isn't shown but the road access to it is there. Strangely enough they seem to show a second bridge over the highway from the shopping area when in fact it is a tunnel.

Will be much improved BUT just pushing the flow of traffic onward to Hudson where it will still back up, possible to Boucherie as it does some days now. Turn the tap on full but put the plug in and the sink fills up way too quick

From the looks of it, Safari Ridge won't be affected.

Be cheaper to have 6 lanes. 4 isnt enough . Needs signage for left lane hogs.

Every single day I go around twits in the left lane . Enforcement is needed . There are too many people for a single artery . Ocasionally the person is about to turn left . Three lanes , no problem .

And occasionally that left turn happens in 2 kms ... like changing lanes to the left while on the bridge to turn left at Boucherie Rd.
"better get over so don't have to worry about it later" <facepalm>
Also same frustration when people see a lane closure/merge so they jump over right away (too soon!) and leave the rest of the lane empty. Ugh.

(calming deep breath)
Anyway, back to Boucherie Rd changes ... that plan has been on the books for a long time (with multiple open houses with fancy displays and everything), can't come soon enough.

great idea then you can have six lanes of traffic backed up at the lights need overpasses not lanes flow = go
