There are many positive and negative effects of widening public roads.

Negative effects that come to mind include: impeding traffic during construction, environmental impact, and taxpayer cost.

There are other possible negative effects such as people "rubbernecking" or staring at construction which can cause an accident. If there is insufficient room to widen the road but it must be widened, sidewalk space can be reduced or street parking spaces removed.
