Except I have to live in Utah ;)Quote:

It'll take a year to blow the top off a mtn and set piers
The new west bound 1.5 mile ling bridge from the top of Floyd hill to the central city parkway exit will get built w little to no impact to existing traffic the same jerk offs in complete fear will Ride there brakes down Floyd hill for a few more years
As a junior civil engineer I approve
I can get with most of their little tidbits, but this has me in a quandary. Honestly, kinda fucked up and irresponsible.

haha, if that's real then someone just wasn't thinking (probably high). I think it would read, "Drive sober or get pulled over".
I took the picture today. Thought I misread, so turned around to get a pic
Gotta stay in the New Mexico state of mind and we'll get through this construction.
Pretty sure it's hard to build stuff in the winter in CO...Quote:

Isn't most of the building taking place off the highway? Is it a reroute, just like the last tunnel improvement project? Honest question, I really don't know anything about it. Most of my I70 travel these days takes place west of this clusterfuck so I'll be unaffected but vibes to the Frangers that still ski. Make it bad enough and maybe we can have some reduction in skier numbers, which I, for one, would welcome.Quote:

That looks like a piece of cake that should be completed in 6 months.Quote:

But I'm no civil engineer. :D
That was an old plan. Building pier columns to the south is better than blowing up a mountain to the north.Quote:

I don't understand what is taking so long on hwy 50 between Gunnison and Montrose. It's year 3, they completely close the highway for large portions of the day, they work nights, and it's hard to tell that they've done anything.
Yeah - but are they still going to have that sharp right-hander west bound? I mean - you can easily take that at 60mph, but pretty much everyone thinks they should take it at 35mph. :mad:Quote:
