The bike lane closure that turned a 20 minute ride into a 90 minute detour

I live in Portland and take the Springwater Corridor to work, but last month they closed a half-mile section for construction with no warning. The official detour signs sent me through three neighborhoods with confusing turns, and I ended up lost for way longer than I budgeted. Has anyone else dealt with a commute reroute that took way more time than it should have, or do you think I just overreacted to the whole situation?

Lost my car in a parking garage for 45 minutes once, so trust me, you're not alone buddy!

Wait, @jesse_green55, you really wandered around for 45 whole minutes?

I get what youre saying but honestly 45 minutes seems like a bit much. I mean after 15 or 20 you gotta just hit the panic button on your key fob and let the horn lead you there.
