The Highway 5 Mess
It seems like not long ago I was excited that Highway 5 construction was completed. A few week later, they put the orange cones back up and I’m worried that we’ll face another winter in construction.

Parts of new highway 5 open.
The highway 5 realignment project has been in the works for quite a while now and it has reached a mile stone. Today drivers were confused even more as parts of the new highway are open. Sure the new road is nice, but if you are entering or exiting on 30 you might be a [...]
