The highway near me has been under construction for years. Specifically, the I-30 / I-635 interchange, part of the 635 East Project.

In this area, there is a long stretch, maybe 2 miles, that has three lanes of highway with no shoulders on either side, no speed limit reduction, and several lane shifts. It's very dangerous and stressful to drive through. But, there are no workers present in this area; it's just the detour for traffic and the workers are elsewhere.

So my question is where can I find information about any laws or regulations in this situation? Are there any? Is it ok for construction companies to just make roads hazardous for years at a time because it's during construction and therefore "temporary?"

All the info I can find is about what drivers should do to make things safer for workers. As I explained, that's not what I'm looking for. What about making it safer for the drivers?
