Some citizens are wondering how they’re going to get through the day—and night.
With heavy equipment banging, rumbling and pounding all day at St. Francis, local residents have a right to think they thought they might get a break at night. But last night through the wee hours of the morning, the same kind of noises, presumably from the Milpas underpass construction, rumbled and reverberated loudly, incessantly through the area.
If Eastside residents are a bit bleary-eyed today, they have a good excuse. But the question is how long can they go with such disrupted work—and sleep?
Is anybody who planned this cacophony listening at all?

You use the freeway and chose where to live so take responsibility for your actions or just keep whining and crying it’s the SB Way.
I agree with Deal With It, at least in so far as the Milpas freeway noise is concerned. I live not far from there, hear the noise, but that’s life in the city and rebuilding the freeway. I slept through it last night, after wondering at first what it was. Different situation, however, for those living near St. Francis who did not choose to live near a torn down hospital.
Obviously deal with it doesn’t have a twelve hour job and three kids to get to school. I for one am glad to know someone else can see that the freeway has been slowed to a crawl all year…why not bang away during the day? Deadline perhaps!
“Deal with it”…
Who’s fault is that you have a 12 hour job and three kids? You keep reproducing and they have to keep widening the freeway. It is at night so as to not slow down commuters to crawl any worse (it is not as bad as you make it out to be, I know, I drive it daily). I hope your offspring get some common sense with their whine.
I appreciate that the work is being done at night, regardless of the fact that I can hear it all over town. Unfortunately that message is lost in the “anti-breeder” rant above, which is all too typical of our local elite. The problems with traffic have much more to do with a developer stranglehold on our local politicians and an unchecked immigration policy than longtime resident families and their struggles to balance their budgets and get the kids to school.
