87 Traffic

I don't know about any of you but my commute to school is a drag. I live of the 87 and i take that freeway everyday to school. Ever since they have been doing construction on this freeway it has been nothing but traffic. Just recently going north on 87 they added another lane and made it into a car pool lane. It was suppose to help traffic but it hasnt. Once i get on the freeway I live about 2 miles away from the 280-680 exit and it takes me about 20 min to get to that exit. I have to leave me house at least half an hr early to make it to class on time. Also what i hate the most is the new lane they made from the 280 N freeway onto 87 south to go back home. It is so ridiculous they have made 3 merges into one. People merge in this one lane from three different freeways. One from people exiting from 87 to the Alma avenue exit, then people coming from 280 S trying to get on 87 and also of course people coming from 280 N. If you have any classes between 3pm-7pm and wanting to take that freeway be sure to know that it will take you at least 15-20 min to get on to 87 . This makes me so frustrated, when your out of school you just want to go home but it takes you that much longer to get home because your stuck in traffic. I can not wait till the fix this freeway and make more lanes. They said by early spring if not by beginning of summer that the freeway should be fixed, lets hope so.
