I haven't seen anything on this lately, nor had time to drive around...anyone out there seeing progress on this project? Thanks.

Yes, drive down Byers Avenue

They're currently doing groundwork for bridges that will cross over the canal.

Any pics?

It's funny -- the road and bridge people get their money, and the chunks of I-40 falling off suddenly lose their newsworthiness.

Remember back during the push for more roads and bridges how every night the news was focused on making you too scared to drive to work?

Well.. fast forward 'til today -- same bridges, same "dangers", not newsworthy...

what gives?

[Patrick]

Could be that there isn't as big of a problem with roads and bridges as some would like you to believe.

Gee, really? My favorite was when they paid that principal to say how scared they were to use a certain bridge on the way to school.

Totally classic.

I wish I could do a montage of those scare videos.
