When will local road construction be finished?

This year, there seems to be road construction all around the Buffalo-area.

"It feels like it just keeps going on and on.  If there is not construction over here, then it is over there.  It just never stops," said Buffalo State College student Jordan Wolf from Amherst.

While Mother Nature helped crews by providing lots of dry weather and enabling some projects to end early, drivers are wondering how much longer the other projects on interstate highways and Erie County roads will go on?

We asked people through social people what they thought were the biggest concerns.  

People on Twitter and Facebook responded with the bridge replacement on Elmwood Avenue over Rt.198 near Buffalo State College, Losson Road in Cheektowaga and Seneca Street in West Seneca.

7 Eyewitness News reporter Ed Reilly set out today to get some answers on those projects and others - and he found out that another big project is just about to get started.
