BOO-YA!! I just about pulled over on the way to work today to personally thank the crew doing the work. They had only done curb side on the southbound lane on the way into work, on the way home, the other side had been shaved down too. All they way down car torture hill too!

It's time like this, paying taxes seems a little easier.

My assumption was that they blocked off the outer lanes first, to shave the road and still allow traffic through, then to do the inner lanes when they're done. Then there'll probably be a hell weekend where it's closed entirely for paving.

No, they're definitely digging something up, they've got crates full of pipes on the side of the road...

Good luck on that. The spent the whole wad on that Peace of Crap bridge and have no money left over

Sweet. Elbow Dr is one road that is making it hard to get to Turner Valley from downtown in under 40 minutes
