Packers signed QB Jordan Love to a 4 year $220 million contract extension. $75 million signing bonus and $155 million guaranteed. He's now the highest paid QB in NFL history. Go Pack Go!

You are the one that mentioned me and I replied and now your mad. Like I told you earlier, grow up. The Mackinac Bridge will most likely never have EZ-Pass because there is no benefit in getting it. You people think the lack of it causes backups on the bridge, it does not. The bridge is two lanes in each direction, often with a lane closed for maintenance or construction the toll plaza not accepting EZ-Pass is not the reason for any backups on the bridge. Then you say that I haven't given a valid reason why they shouldn't have it, I have been doing that the entire thread.

Should I drive down this street?

That end looks really dead. They probably have more of those signs at the end...

Let's see, posts #152 and 155 in this thread most certainly attacked me. You people don't even know what you are talking about anyway, I don't care how many people on here agree with you.

Oh and #226 was attempting to attack me as well when I hadn't said a word to you in several pages but oh here you are trying to stir the pot.

Yikes. Probably best for you to turn in for the night. Cause this is kind of embarrassing.

Wake up tomorrow with a more positive approach OK?

What's embarrassing? Not a damn thing. You can turn in for the night and wake up tomorrow with a more positive approach because you have not made no positive approach here.

Outside of the Mid-States Corridor, are any other portions of US 231 in Indiana planned to be expanded to four lanes in the future?

There's talk right now of extending the West Lafayette bypass to tie into I-65 near Battle Ground. Presumably US 231 would be rerouted from Montmorenci to this extension.

Bridges / Re: Replacing the Mulberry Riv...

Last post by ozarkman417 - July 26, 2024, 11:02:54 PM

I'll have to take a trip down there when the new bridge is done to get a side-by-side photo before the OG bridge is demolished. Glad to see ARDOT doing justice to this historic piece. It would have been cool if they did something like this for the old green bridge at Pruitt, though in their defense the pony truss at Turner Bend is a lot more simplistic than its Buffalo River counterpart.

Southeast / Re: Complete NC 540 Project

Last post by Henry - July 26, 2024, 11:00:02 PM

Where would be a good place for an Interstate 640 to go, assuming one is ever proposed, which seems unlikely to me?

Knowing NCDOT...they could apply I-640 to the next freeway. I will not be surprised if this one goes to US-1 between I-440 in Raleigh and I-85 near Henderson. LOL. Or maybe if they go with the freeway next to I-40 going from Dunn to Wilmington.

Before BL 40 was rebuilt as the Salem Parkway, I thought that would be a good location for an I-640. But now that Winston-Salem won't allow it to be an Interstate nor Business Loop, the next best thing would be to build a freeway loop around Hickory or Burlington (fat chance, I know, but we can all dream, can't we?).
