That's not hard to believe considering the length that needs to updated and the poor shape it is in. Driving through NC on I-85 it is nice seeing how much effort they have put into widening and safety by design. I-85 in SC north of Spartanburg suffers from short on- and off-ramps, no inside shoulder, cable barrier vs. guardrail, let alone the need to be widened.

Traffic shift 385N on Tuesday mornig. All N traffic shares the 85N/Woodruff exit and eventually is able to merge back to 385N. The project posted this video to try and help: https://t.co/luP71zqAxX

Think I will shift as far away from it as I can get. Sounds like another early morning rush hour nightmare backup until people get used to this. They should make these changes over a weekend IMO.

Weekend traffic during the holiday season near Woodruff Road is pretty heavy as well. There really isn't a "good" time unless you could do the traffic shift at 3 AM.

I think this latest change is going to create a real bottleneck. I wish I could avoid that stretch of road, but I can't.

I saw this on Twitter on the gateway handle:

** Traffic Shift Update **
Due to low temperatures, contractor is unable to complete asphalt paving & markings and thus UNABLE to make the announced traffic shift along 385 NB.
Pending temps tomorrow we will announce if the shift can be made Thursday AM.
Thanks for your patience!
