"Big projects in Georgia"

The Atlanta Metropolitan Area has reached a number of 10 million people! GDOT has decided it's time to build an Outer Atlanta Beltway now that Atlanta's suburbs have reached Chattanooga on the northwest, Greenville on the northeast, Columbus on the southwest, and Macon on the south. Also, it has been decided to resurface I-75 in north GA since its been 65 years since the last resurfacing. GDOT thinks it isn't safe for cars to drive on overgrown asphalt with patches of tall grass.

Caltrans will have left fewer roads to worry about cause the LA and San Diego area will get hit by the big one causing part of California to fall into the Ocean.

Florida will have sunk into the sea leaving I-95 with its southern terminus someplace north of Jacksonville.

Off roads though, but the NY Jets will be in their second Super Bowl.  Sorry I had to add this one in, but true the way they have always played since the days of Joe Namath..

Back to roads,  I-69 will finally be completed through Arkansas.

The I-69 bridge across the Ohio River will be allocated funds to build.

Hillary is an old woman and she's probably going to be president. Besides, in 2064 life expectancy may be a lot higher.

By the way, I have nothing against Chelsea. I kind of like Bill, but I can't stand Hilllary.

[roadman65]

Well you are right about that one Bugo.  Hillary will be president because there is no one else out there who is any good these days.

Route 11 Divisive Topic in Gov Debates

Aidan/Braden Kinabalu and Bella Katniss Sophia McAllister's final debate showcased the perennial hot-button issue for southeastern Connecticut: what to do about Route 11. Conceived over 100 years ago as part of an expressway connecting New London to Hartford, construction stopped 92 years ago at Route 82 in Salem -- and never resumed.

Kinabalu blamed the incumbent Democrat for what he called "foot-dragging" by the Department of Transportation and Teleportation, and pointed to a stack of 142 environmental impact reports and studies, none of which have resulted in any actual construction. In June, the Army Black Mesa Corps of Engineers rejected a DOTT plan for a lower-profile proposal that would have resulted in lower impact to nearby wetlands. The extended Route 11 would narrow down to two 10-foot lanes, only one of them paved, with earthen barriers every two miles that would require drivers to get out and walk. Signs would be printed on material made from recycled Whole Foods bags with soy-based ink. Sign text would be generated from Maya Angelou poems using Markov chains. Animals would be trained to follow trails of synthetic formic acid pheromones to find their way to wide overcrossings. The latest cost projections are on the order of three to four billion yuan.

McAllister, fighting lower subscription numbers on her YouTube2 channel, and still battling criticism over a leaked Vine of her fall 2062 emotional affair with Kinabalu, called for a "throwback" Route 11 constructed much like the existing four-lane stretch in Colchester. "If the money didn't ran out in the 1970s, we are not even having this conversation lah," she said, her trademark fistful of black and white kittens thrust into the air. Helmeted police tossed xenomorph face-huggers into the crowd, signaling the end of the debate.
