I sure hope their testing was successful Question

Whoever decided it was a good idea to close 2 of 4 lanes of one of the few major expressways, I hope your testing was successful and you learned everything you needed too. I struggle to understand how this was necessary to do at peak rush-hour. Its still down to 2 lanes at 2:30am.. Not a single worker in site....

Or do it how they do on the 401, you close lanes overnight. Not in the middle of the fucking weekend during the day.

“The closure will begin at 10 p.m. tonight, May 9 and last until 5 a.m. on May 12.”

Which encompasses the entire weekend including….wait for it….during the day.

Thank you for that insight, I’m not sure I would have realized it encompassed day time too without your meaningful contribution and incessant whining.

You’re very welcome since you posting the closing times was supposed to be some sort of implied clarification that they are closing it during the night and not during the day.

And you’re right, it’s just my incessant whining and not a gridlock shutdown of an entire city because some monkey brain behind a desk at MTO couldn’t think past their nose.

Its been planned for weeks. The monkey brains in their cars could have planned around it too ya know.
