Hi neighbor, I didn’t understand your reply to my comment. Maybe you were replying to someone else?
My comment:
I live in Burlington 1 mile from the bridge and I am amazed that they are routing traffic over the 536 bridge which is a much older draw bridge through downtown Mt. Vernon. Not going to be fun to go anywhere around here for quite some time.
Your reply:
They’re routing... out west via the Memorial Highway, probably via Avon Allen? That’s a MUCH longer trek.
No it isn’t! :(
Anyway, I drove around today a bit and it took me 1/2 hour to go 1 mile from my house on the East side of Burlington to the George Hopper Rd stop light. And that’s because I was turning right at that light. I bypassed half the backup by doing that.
Yes, you are going to experience hell for the short-term.
I have experienced hell since my wife abandoned me in 2011, I took a job in Texas in desperation to support her and my three children, since my car died in August, 2012 (you cannot not have a car in Texas - look at the obesity rates in that state), and in desperation I moved to the only place in the nation where one doesn't NEED a car: NYC, with my cousin with whom I'm starting a company that will eventually bring down the established order.
What's not to understand, exactly? I'm not understanding...
