While the Forum is up and running, there are still thousands of guests (bots). Downtime may occur as a result.

For some reason, the TX 288 shield is an old reused upside-down US 67 shield. What's interesting to me is that this sign is located about 300 miles away from US 67.
Quote from: Bitmapped on June 11, 2025, 10:23:06 PMThe West Virginia constitution has a limitation on municipal property tax rates, just as it does for counties. Cities have a couple other sources of taxation available to them (B&O and/or sales taxes) but they are relatively insignificant for smaller towns.
Your suggestion that bonds don't require new taxes is just plain wrong.

The IDOT D8 construction season summary states that replacing the 55/70 bridges over Beltline Rd require full closures, done one direction at a time. Makes sense to do the other direction after July 4th weekend.
I haven't seen the exact date for the WB/SB closure but I can believe July 11

Quote from: TheOneKEA on July 06, 2025, 04:40:52 PMI will be interested to see if there are any calls for some of the busier at-grade intersections on the loooooooong stretch of US 11/15 south of Selinsgrove to be grade-separated once the CSVT is complete.Building interchanges might be tricky space-wise (and environmental-wise) for many of the intersections, since 11/15 runs so close to the river most of the way. If there ever is a call for more grade-separations, it might be more practical to relocate the highway to new r/w further inland, to the west. That could also help reduce possible flooding issues.
Quote from: Thing 342 on July 06, 2025, 06:42:16 PMDrove US-58 through Mecklenburg County today and noticed that it now has posted mile makers every half mile, added sometime between 2023 and February 2025. Since VA doesn't usually post mileposts on US routes, does anyone know if this is just a one-off?
