Mass Transit: "Construction Continues on 2nd Avenue Subway, Expected Completion pushed back to 2074"

Mass Transit: "Construction Continues on 2nd Avenue Subway, Expected Completion pushed back to 2074"

Correction: "Second Avenue Subway extension to 125th Street to begin construction next year, completion expected in 2074". I doubt anybody on this forum will live to see it run from Hanover Square to 125th Street, let alone any of the "proposed extensions".

Don't be surprised to see Missoula expanding into a metropolis and ending up like Billings today that far down the road in the future absorbing Frenchtown, Lolo, Evaro Hill, and East Missoula into one entire conglomerate city. I bet the roads by 2064 would look a lot different than now.

In Off Topic-Sports:  "Philadelphia Eagles win first Superbowl!".

And then, having finally completed my bucketlist by witnessing the above, I will promptly drop dead at the ripe old age of 89.

And, "Lions Still Haven't Been To The Superbowl, Yet Cubs Still make Them Look Good".

Virginia issues a 200-year Civil War anniversary map.  VA 167 still shown in Hampton.


In a political dirty trick, Capital Beltway from Springfield west around to Maryland demolished, so that the promise to never widen I-66 inside the beltway becomes null and void.  I-66 to be widened to 14 lanes.

Haha, nope. Never happening.

Cascadian 'quake causes vital bridges to collapse
MAY 5, 2015 - Last updated: 7:38 pm PST

SEATTLE - This morning's megathrust earthquake, now measured at 9.0 on the Richter scale, has left the entire Pacific Northwest in some state of ruin. The Washington State Department of Transportation is scrambling to set up detours around over 1,000 collapsed or destroyed bridges around the entire state. Interstate 5 remains closed between North Portland and Vancouver, at the Nisqually River Bridge near Olympia, and at the Stillaguamish River north of Marysvile, while the floating bridges on Lake Washington and Hood Canal remain closed for inspection. Construction of the new Alaskan Way Tunnel and Link Light Rail tunnels has resumed, with plans to accelerate completion to replace the destroyed Alaskan Way Viaduct.
