Is this a big problem? Construction, sure, messy, but once it’s up it’s not really a big deal? Or is there something I am missing? It’s not like they put in a divided highway with animal-killing traffic. The vast majority of the time, it’s just going to be a long, linear clearing. Nobody there, minimal noise.
