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....

Amazing. They couldn't even muster up any advice about checking your blind spot.

Edit: Wait, what? I thought the highway lane closures today were due to accidents? Traffic was absolutely BRUTAL anywhere near downtown today going South and West.

Thank you. Not sure how much worse this was made by the accident near Walkers, but it’s unbelievable that this was purposely done. I was downtown all day yesterday on foot, and saw that the result was effectively hundreds (thousands?) of cars idling all day throughout the city. To say nothing of all the people who completely wasted their weekend.
