They were tasked with designing a bridge across the railway, but the railway didn't give them enough land for a curved approach. Hence the 90° bend.
Quote from: The Ghostbuster on Today at 12:53:03 PMI would be fine with Stoughton Rd. having a 45 MPH speed limit for the entire duration between STH 30 and US 12/18, although I would oppose a 35 MPH speed limit. Personally, I would like upgrades of the Pflaum Rd. and Buckeye Rd. intersections into interchanges that include bridges and ramps. The roadway should be constructed similarly to the upgrades of Verona Rd. at the former signaled intersections of CTH PD/McKee Rd. and Williamsburg Way. I'd also like at least one additional grade-separation between Buckeye and Pflaum constructed (perhaps connecting Helgesen with the south frontage road, and/or connecting Allis Ave. with the north frontage road). At Cottage Grove Rd., the northbound exit and entrance ramps should be constructed similarly to how the southbound exit and entrance ramps were reconstructed from 2014 to 2016. The Milwaukee St. interchange can remain as-is. Although I would like improvements to be made at the Broadway intersection, it will likely be reconstructed as-is.

Quote from: kphoger on Today at 09:35:18 AMmmHg is not the English Customary unit for pressure. Imperial uses psi.

Quote from: kphoger on Today at 09:35:18 AMQuote from: US81 on October 18, 2014, 04:02:31 PMHealthcare is (usually) metric ... but uses English for pressures (mmHg) ...Quote from: dbz77 on July 06, 2025, 12:20:10 PMmmHg is clearly metric.Quote from: Scott5114 on July 06, 2025, 09:10:25 PMIt uses a metric unit, but the official SI unit of pressure is the bar (which equals air pressure at sea level).
So actually, he was incorrect on two counts:
(1) mmHg is a metric unit, therefore its use is not an exception to the rule of using metric. (Note that he did not claim it was an SI unit.)
(2) mmHg is not the English Customary unit for pressure. Imperial uses psi.
