Construction

I just have to say that Salt Lake is under construction. And I don't mean one section of it; I mean ALL OF IT! I'm pretty sure there is not one good way for me to get to or from work and completely avoid construction. Regardless of which route I take, I hit construction-- I-80, I-215, Sugarhouse, Van Winkle, 33rd South, oh and 45th south doesn't work either because it bottlenecks at 13th E. Most of the construction I pass is due to the bridge replacements on the freeway, but do they have to do all of I-80 at once? All these closures and detours and... Ugh, I am so ready for it to be done. The one I will be most grateful for when it reopens is the 700 East exit from westbound I-80.


I work on 700 E so that was the easiest way to get to work, but now I have to exit at 1300 E and fight all the other traffic because there weren't enough lanes to begin with, but now that's where they're building the new bridges and even redoing that overpass too! It is such a mess.

Utah. You can't get there from here.
