So the board members of my town decided with the city that It’d be a great idea to change a section of our road. I’ll try my best to explain what’s going to happen, but I apologize if it’s confusing. I’m partly confused myself.
Basically when I leave my house, I get on a highway and eventually I get to a bridge. I go over the bridge and continue on. Well all of the construction is going to happen near that bridge, meaning it’s going to be nearly impossible to get over it in a timely manner.
Both my regular and my alternative route to get to my location require access to the bridge. There’s one other way but it makes me really nervous. Basically I’d be going on back roads, which isn’t a huge deal in the daylight but I have to leave for my class before the sunrises. Unfamiliar backroads and the dark are not a good mixture.
I’m an anxious driver already. I have never been able to get over it. I know that this situation is out of my control but it isn’t any less stressful or anxiety inducing.

So you basically have two options. Bridge or Backroads. I’m guessing the traffic is getting backed up at the bridge. How long is this adding to your travel time. Which of these two options causes you the least anxiety. What if you drove the backroad route during the day to get more familiar and comfortable with it ahead of time.
Basically, nobody knows exactly what it’ll do time wise, just that it will impact it.
I’m really only worried about like the first day I have to do it, you know? Like not knowing what it’s going to be like. I have class on Tuesdays and Thursday’s and it just so happens that construction begins next Tuesday 😂 so I get to literally be the experimental group. Cause they’ll start the construction around the time I leave in the morning. Totally my luck 😂
How about leaving lot earlier than you normally would at least for the first day. Also google maps would show any traffic backups and current travel times. You could check that before leaving.
That’s what I had planned to do but it doesn’t make it any less stressful you know? Logically I know that after the first day I should be fine but it’s that stupid first day
