Like waiting for Muni, waiting for the unveiling of a shiny new BART station or even just a dedicated bike lane can feel interminable.

Throughout the Bay Area, plenty of promises, press releases, and public meetings have been made about new projects that will ease commutes, beautify our cities and make the area that much better. After more than 10 years of construction, we got a new eastern span of the Bay Bridge -- at the cost of a cool $6.4 billion.

Currently on the Bay Area to-do list are plenty of game-changers -- a BART line all the way to San Jose and bike riding on the Bay Bridge's western span. But when are these transportation projects supposed to arrive? Are they stuck in funding limbo, a policy dispute or just taking forever?

Earlier this year, state funding cuts stalled at least seven Bay Area projects, including improved bike lanes leading up to the Bay Bridge's eastern span, until 2021.

Look through the gallery above to see when some of the biggest transportation projects will likely roll in.
