OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[simple]

Not I70 but when the fuck is CDOT going to finish the construction at the Federal/Rte 6 interchange? It seems to be taking forever and I get caught in long delays all the time. Grrrrrr

It is a fast track design build project that is absolutely flying along....and yet you are still bitching? Go have a beer in the corner.

[adrenalated]

[Elkhound Odin]

With this monster winter we're going to have it might be easier to track when the highway is open.

Any predictions for the amount of fuckery it will take to outdo last years boat incident?

Ha, my photo! Still laugh hard about that one. An hour backup in a big storm to all merge past....a boat.

Maybe a spun out "Bustang" in the new toll lane with no shoulder would come close?

Maybe a spun out "Bustang" in the new toll lane with no shoulder would come close?

win! cause cdot buses are exempt from chain laws and the bottom dollar automatic tire chains will not work properly

and with no shoulder for spun out or fender bendered cars to get out of the way, well that should be epic

[Elkhound Odin]

[hatchgreenchile]

When they opened the new tunnel and lane, traffic flowed through Idaho Springs. Not that they are taking the lane away, it will be a crawl again to US6, unless you can cough up $30.

[Elkhound Odin]

yeah, I think I do.......

ac-ci-dent [ak-si-duh nt]
noun

1. an undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss; casualty; mishap:
automobile accidents.

2. any event that happens unexpectedly, without a deliberate plan or cause.


Unless someone has purposeful intent to slide off the road, into another vehicle, or otherwise impact the flow of traffic, it's an accident.

[montanaskier]

I drove down this morning and it was snowing pretty hard from the tunnel to Georgetown. Sounds like it's a shitshow up there right now.

On a side note....heavy snow, or rain, low vis.....easily 35% of cars don't have their lights on. WTF?!?!?!


Edit....FRM:cdot@service.govdelivery.com
MSG:CLOSED- I-70 WB at Vail Pass Summit, MM 184, due to an accident.

I came down from Breck a little before noon and no problems. Light snow flurries in spots, but the roads were dry. Breck to downtown in an hour and 20 minutes.

Me groggily pulling something out of the fridge causing an egg to fall on the floor is an accident. The things you're referring to are crashes. By your logic, shooting down MH17 was "an accident." Stop excusing negligent and reckless driving by referring to the consequences as just an "accident."
