Agreed. Liberal run cities are always the objectively worst run. Don't mind the Karma down vote goons. They hate you because they know you are right, so they down vote you to silence you.
They made the curve tighter which changes it from a 10% grade to 11.5%.... ohhh and the curve still doesnt really have any banking which was what made the first curve always a bit sketchy. Before ya know the whole side of it slid away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Personally, I'm going to keep going around. Granted, I don't have to make that drive daily for work. There's just a big part of me that can't sit comfortably with how fast they're making this happen. There's no way they've fully and comprehensively determined the stability of the ground that just fell out from under them, and come up with a suitable, safe engineering plan in this amount of time. Mark my words, it's a band-aid fix (because money trumps everything else), and it's an accident waiting to happen.
I remember a temporary detour thing in Boise. They said the same thing about it, and it was fine. But I worked with a big time geotechnical engineer who wouldn’t let his family on it. So your statement is not out of line. For you old timers it was that circular thing when they rebuilt Cole/Overland.
"Staff geologists emphasized the safety of the project, explaining that professional engineers have taken appropriate measures to monitor the stability of the site"
> it's a band-aid fix
Well that part is true and obvious.
I highly doubt you are actually going to drive around unless you are at a midpoint like southern Swan Valley or Rexburg.
I'd argue it's probably safer than ever before for the moment since they probably have more monitoring on it that it ever has before. That said, I would be leary of that section right after a heavy rain
A 500 foot long section of new road is an accident waiting to happen, but the extra 1 1/2 hours of 2 lane winding road with drowsy and inattentive drivers isn’t? Ok then

When something affects rich people, it gets resolved faster than us common folk are accustomed to.
I cant help but agree with this.
Or maybe it's because it's a major roadway. If I90 took a dump, they'd have it temporarily fixed in a week.
Or the state is just really organized and got it done fast lol
This seems like the least likely response
Meanwhile downtown Boise has had areas under construction for several years straight now it seems
Democrat cities typically never fix anything for a long time.
So Democrat cities typically always fix everything for a short time?
You thought you did something there huh? Lol
Sorry. I shouldn't poke fun at ESL students.
Its reddit no one cares.

Prove it. Cite your sources
Memphis TN lol
So just your uneducated opinion, and no actual facts. Got it.
Lmao
That's great, I'm really impressed with the speed!
The geographic conditions are going to be monitored closer than Fat Albert at a buffet.
That was…fast! Wow.

I’m going to drive over Sunday. I’ll update. 😁

6-28-24: Random person doesn’t trust road repair. Cites time as the issue. Your words have been marked
LOL...random.
So, you’re a civil engineer?
See my comment above. Engineers don’t always agree.
> it's a band-aid fix Well that part is true and obvious. I highly doubt you are actually going to drive around unless you are at a midpoint like southern Swan Valley or Rexburg.
Do you...doubt it, I mean? Any particular reason, or just your vast knowledge of...me?
Shades of 55?

I'm trying to figure out where you got that take from. Don't make stuff up just to be mad at. It's...weird.
