Dallas central expressway construction went on for over 20 years.
Who needs I-70 to get around Denver?
Just hop down on Colfax and go where you need to go.
(Double check your insurance first and leave yesterday so you wont be late!!)
Wichita KS has been rebuilding Kellogg St for over 20 years. 8 lanes wide full of cars and new construction obstacle courses every morning! Still going strong. East Wichita will be in Missouri in a year or two.
That’s $120 Million/mile. Can you say “graft and corruption”?
“Denver is punished with long daily slow commutes.”
I’m sure this is not news to you but it’s not only the prime commuting time that is interminably slow. I paid a bunch of money to use the airport bypass toll road when returning from vacation with my RV trailer at Rocky Mountain National Park last year. All to avoid central Denver and the mobile parking lots they call highways. Exchanging money for less stress seemed a fair trade.
Have not been there in decades. Cant imagine what people do there or why. Just Ponca City or Stillwater but a bit colder and windier if that is possible.
I-70 ugly repressive mess...ditch has not been built yet. The drawings show a beautiful 10 lane garden. Ugly mess during construction. I will wait and see what will be at the completion. It may be a double decker marvel.
“I-70 built by Democrats will be an ugly, oppressive mess.”
At be under construction forever. It will never have an ending. Every major intersection in Denver seems to be under constant construction. Arapahoe and I-25 has been rebuilt since at least 1993 and it still is.
“The whole neighborhood started to change when the freeway went up,”
I remember Denver before there were freeways (1953). Go-stop. Go-stop. It took forever to get through town. It seemed every stoplight was set to stop everyone at every intersection.
This illustrates a remaining difference between Colorado and California. Both are Democrat dominated but the public sector is seen as rational in Colorado and irrational in California. Public works projects are approved in Colorado, in California all we get is a bullet train that will never operate.
That’s $22,727/foot. Is that a good deal?
Frightening really. Too big. Too many sheeple.
I get anxious when I am around too many sheeple. I look for an exit when I first enter town or city.
The forever under construction is a payoff to Democrat union workers, while burning the people who use roads.
