Edwardsville Road Construction

I think the construction on Edwardsville rd. from rte. 111 to 143 is terrible. It took way to long. I know weeks if not months went by without anything being done. I know this has hurt business for those on that part of the road. I mean they built a gas station at the Woodriver Shop 'n' Save and at the Alton Shop 'n' Save in half the time. Also according to the latest city council records it is just phase 1 that has cost around 43,000 dollars to do. What do you think?
