OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[Name Redacted]

Spring is worse. Same shit, more morons.

At least in the spring, most people have been driving in snow for the last few months so they know to be somewhat cautious. In the fall, you always have that guy who thinks that it's still June. Till he hits that ice patch right around the Empire exit and spins like a top going 90. But yeah, there are morons every day of the year on that road.

If all the projects between TT and the Tunnel aren't done by the time winter really starts, it's gonna be a crazy mess.

Twin Tunnels schedule is currently:

December 2014 – Westbound tunnel widening work complete

December 2014 – January 2015 – Lane closures to finish wall and barrier construction

I'm pretty sure they were a few months late getting the project finished last time, maybe they got their production rates up but I'm not optimistic.

[karpiel]

Heh.
bridge completion could be delayed as late as mid-January instead of late-November

Watch this turn into a mid spring completion date due to weather, holiday and production delays.

[The SnowShow]

^^^what is the point of that bridge being taken down? Was it falling apart?

[karpiel]

Main reason was to allow for expansion of 70, was also in shit shape.

[bean]

Sucks, but better to do the mitigation correctly rather than to just further pollute clear creek.

I vote for june 2015 completion

cdot is a sorry organization, it's time to clean house starting at the top and working their way down through the list of one lazy goverment employee after another

it's common to do test bores before performing road work to see what the dirt and water consist of before engineering a new highway or bridge. I'm guessing someone was asleep at the wheel when they were analyzing the test bores or maybe they just used the twin tunnel bores instead

for a good laugh look at the disaster between frisco and breck it was suppose to be done oct 15, they are pretty lucky to have good weather, finally got some local contractors on the job and it's moving because local guys know how to actually work not milk it, the road is already failing in three places and it's not even done, guess no money back guarantee

I drive Silverthorne to Breck 5-10 times a day, shits getting old.

WB closed at the tunnel. Accidents....

[MakersTeleMark]

Full shitshow on the scanner. Great entertainment.

Full closure being implemented. No tows up there, wrecks, off the roads, injuries, jacknifes. Can't get ambi's up the pass. Nuking, and no CDOT support. Fun times.

The can't even find staff to get the closures up.

It is, but wouldn't you know CDOT doesn't even have that updated on their website.

[montanaskier]

Worth it to go 285 or is that asking for trouble

[Name Redacted]

It is, but wouldn't you know CDOT doesn't even have that updated on their website.

It was on Cotrip.org

Thanks for that link to the radio feed. Definitely some comedy going on there.

[The SnowShow]

How the fuck does CDOT get caught with their pants down again?! Is it snowing that hard?

[MakersTeleMark]

2-3 in per hour at my place. Wondering how big the shitshow will grow once they do release traffic.

They'll wait till dark so it'll have the chance to glaze over nicely. Then the real fun begins.

[montanaskier]

I pulled the plug. I'll just crash down here and go home early in the morning. Thanks to Makers for the report.

Need a place to stay? Got an empty bedroom and plenty of beer on tap.

[montanaskier]

Thanks but I'm all set for tonigjt. I do love tap beer though!

[The SnowShow]

Oh ok, so it is heavy up there. I guess the cold air pushed west after all?

Yep. Will work like clockwork, especially with everyone getting out of work. CDOT fully admitted that any "products" are not doing shit and that there are some areas with "traction issues".
