Residents and business owners near a main artery of traffic in Philadelphia are growing frustrated with an ongoing roadwork project that the city promises will improve safety and flow of traffic.

The facelift of Washington Avenue in South Philadelphia started near Delaware Avenue in August and has since progressed to 10th Street. It's scheduled to be complete by the end of the year.

While some have enjoyed the new proposed bike lanes that are sandwiched between the curb and outer parking lanes, most who spoke to FOX 29 were angered by the ongoing headaches. Wally Giordano, owner of Giordano's Produce at 9th and Washington streets, says the project has drastically reduced parking and the ever-changing configuration of reflective lane markers have created an obstacle course for his customers.
