The last thing anyone wants to do is to wait in a line of slow-moving traffic after a long day at work. However, it is indeed that time of year. We're pretty much used to it though, aren't we?

The reason for the delays is no surprise... it's roadwork. It's the necessary evil that the summer hands us every year. We all know it has to get done now, or we will complain about it later. It's really not all that bad when you think about it.

With that in mind, here is what we have happening this week as the City of Pittsfield continues its ongoing 2021 Street Improvement Project:

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
