BEWARE: Driving south on Chenal from Cantrell
I’m angry, so I apologize in advance for whatever. When you drive south down Chenal from Cantrell — that’s where the Walmart, Layne’s Chicken, and Jersey Mike’s are — you’ll pass by New Life Church and then go through a traffic light. You’ll see cones moved off the road, presumably to be redeployed or collected later. You’ll see a sign or two that says WORK ZONE AHEAD, but they’re also moved off the road, and the road itself is free to drive on.
I know people appreciate that ARDOT is repaving many of the roads around Little Rock. Lord knows I certainly do. But in the case of this stretch of road I just described, there are still great big fucking holes in the road. Not literally holes, obviously, but the length of the road they’re gonna be repaving. Yeah, hitting that at 40-45 MPH is gonna ruin somebody’s car. I braked hard enough before hitting the other end of the hole, but the impact and noise were still horrible.
Almost literally unbelievable. They moved the cones and left a big hole in the road for people to crash into.
