Numerous construction projects in Florida have led to severe traffic congestion, frustrating drivers and impacting businesses. In Palmetto, roadwork on US 41 has transformed the highway into a crawl, with residents complaining of hours-long delays. The construction has also negatively affected local restaurants, with customers hesitant to venture out due to prolonged travel times. Similar traffic backups have occurred on other roadway projects across the state, including the Rickenbacker Causeway, where concrete restoration led to hours of gridlock.

Months-long road closures in Clovis, California, have been extended due to construction delays. The closures, which began in January and were initially set to reopen on April 16, have impacted businesses and residents in the area. The closures are affecting Shepherd Avenue between Fowler Avenue and Sunnyside Avenue, and Sunnyside Avenue between Perrin Road and Shepherd Avenue. The Lennar Heritage Grove development on the north side of Shepherd Avenue is the cause of the closures, which are expected to continue until late June.
