We'll see if that sorts out this whole "micronation" thing.

Probably behind a paywall, but basically the US 62 interchange on US 31W BYP is being converted to a dumbbell interchange (ramp intersections being roundabouts).

Looks like they had a public meeting for a future (unfunded) phase for this project.

The I-35 project from the June lettings was for exit 207. The project you are referring to is the next exit to the north, exit 210.
My mistake. I saw Gardner and assumed it was that one.

Mid-Atlantic / Re: Coalfields Expressway
Last post by seicer - Today at 09:41:15 AMThe 9.6-mile Pineville Connector to Twin Falls Connector section of the Coalfields Expressway (SR 121/future US 121) in Wyoming County is out to bid on September 9. The project's target completion date is June 29, 2029. Exhibit 2 (Environmental) provides background on this project.
This encompasses Section 7, which extends from the end of the four-lane Coalfields Expressway at Mullens to the Twin Falls Access Road and includes a connector to Mullens, and Section 8, which extends from the Twin Falls Access Road to WV 10 at Pineville and the Twin Falls Access Road.
The Mullens Connector, which I opposed because it was redundant with a similar connector on the existing highway, is explained in the Environmental document: "The Mullens Connector was added due to the construction sequencing to allow access to the four-lane highway until the Mullens bridge is constructed."

Off-Topic / Re: Compatible vs. Incompatibl...
Last post by kphoger - Today at 09:34:52 AMBack in the mixtape days, the more variety the better. But I never included classical music when making a mixtape, for some reason. And now that I think about it, I don't think I ever included any instrumental-only music either (such as Endgame by REM, or Flying by the Beatles).
But otherwise, as I said, I love variety. A mixtape of mine might go from Enya to Chumbawamba to Stan Rogers to Nanci Griffith to Beck.
