More East End Construction

I was driving in from the airport this morning and saw a PennDOT variable message sign that said that construction would begin on Spetember 7th (?) on I-376 between Fort Pitt Bridge and Squirrel Hill.


Just a heads up.....

Have they figured out a way to close a river for construction? That's all that's missing.

Dynamiting a bridge should do the trick.

Further proof of the neo-Luddite conspiracy (of which we all here are complicit) to make vehicular transport so difficult and impractical so as to render the operation of motor vehicles futile, thereby driving the masses to their bicycles.

And yet, for all the construction Pittsburgh has suffered through for decades, commuters do not appear to have been driven to either public transportation or bicycles. Apparently the time taken to drive somewhere being increased, alternate routes or sitting in traffic isn't enough.


Gas prices seemed to work for a while. We should all be supporting the governors increasing of the gas tax.
