Southbound I55 coming into Jackson

[the dog is on the loose]

Can't mill concrete bro

They can mill concrete. Its called cold milling. Have you ever been on a new section of concrete hwy or interstate that has the sort of groove looking surface compared to other sections? That is where they had to mill it smooth. This is very evident in sections on I-20 east coming off the flyover.

Called grinding, it's a lot slower than milling

I was coming through there yesterday about 7:00 AM. The traffic was 3 abreast and all of a sudden it was like we were on a gravel road. Dust and rocks were flying every where and people were hitting their brakes. I was afraid we were going to end up in a major pile up. We were lucky that no one wrecked.

I got a bunch of dings on my windshield on County Line Road going from I-55 to Hwy 49. with garbage trucks speeding past me going to the dump.

I have gotten so close to getting a new windshield then getting hit by a huge rock the day I was taking to get it replaced so just canceled it. It wouldn't do any good. I'm like you with the luck I have. I have would a rock hit my vehicle going down 20 just after getting it changed out. Both mine and my wife's windshields have cracks and stars on them, and I'm not getting them replaced until we just absolutely can't see through them.

Depends on how you define "milling" ... grinding is certainly a better name for improving concrete. Sure, a concrete surface can be improved but it's not the same machine that knifes through asphalt.

Doesn't the speed limit drop considerably ... like maybe to 35 or 40 ... in the construction zone?

I think there are 50mph speed signs up. But people ignore them like they do the regular 60mph ones.

Got mine this morning. Been cautious to avoid the area but had to go this way this morning. Bout the time I remembered this thread I caught a rock. Nice star. My windshield was already trashed though.
