Just got back from Mankato. I now believe Minnesota DOT is the worst. Get sent on a detour for bridge work. Bastards detour down a road to a spot that has a bridge out so they have to detour us on their detour. Get so far out of the way that I decide to go through a different town. South end of that town........road closed for a bridge out. Did you guys shut down every bridge in minny???? I finally got so ticked, I took gravel to get to iowa as fast as possible to get away from Minnesota bridges.

This might be what I miss most about the Vaughn saga.

I used to think that, then I moved to Kansas. A road crossing i35 has been down to one lane from three all week, I have yet to see any work being done. Now they are closing the whole thing for the weekend...

I mean what have you been doing all week?

jcyclonee and I both live in the northwest burbs and work downtown. At one time they had 94 (N&S) cut from 8-10 lanes to 4 narrow lanes, lane restrictions on I-394 W, 169 closed S&N south of 394, ramp closed from 252 S to 94, lane restriction on 100 N&S south of 394 and ramp closed from 100 north to I 94 west --- all at the same time! I'm probably even missing some of the issues.

I did forget some issues. They had several ramps from downtown onto 94 N and 394 west closed and all of the Lowry hill tunnel traffic funneled into one of the tunnels rather than using both of them.

Also, with the Nicollet Mall construction they have every downtown E/W street restricted from 4 to 2 lanes except Washington because Washington doesn't cross Nicollet. So they tore that up too and had it down to two unpaved lanes from 4 with turning lanes.

I understand that the construction season is short here, but throw us a bone, will ya?

So the dance off is loading pretty slow on my laptop. Anyone add red velour Hoiberg or geeky dad Hoiberg yet?

I remember just before I left the cities they had 494 switching 2x a day from two lanes nb and one south to the opposite. That was fun...
