I usually go out through the back side of the subdivision and use a little road that isn't in great shape but it keeps me off the main bumper to bumper roads and I pass behind the suburb next to us on my way to the office on my weekly trek.
They are closing that road next month to put in a straight shot with a bridge (it's currently an S curve with a tendency to flood). Construction is to take 18 months so multiply that by two at least.
It will double my time on the road and mean I don't get to travel down one the most scenic roads in the area. It's a narrow road and isn't in the best shape but is nearly a tunnel due to the trees on each side that arch over the roadway and there is occasionally a herd of cows at the far end that are pretty cool looking in that they are two colors with one color being a solid band around the middle. It's a lovely drive to watch the seasons change (at least as much as they do here). I am not happy.
I have less than a month to enjoy this little drive. sigh
