I may be flamed, but I thought the highways down there were excellent hub and spoke and frontage roads.. The Beltway was good as can be and they were always working on something including 290, 610 and the new Grand Parkway (86 miles around). Of course most everything is toll.

The Katy Freeway is one of widest in world with 27 lanes. Crazy.

Texas drivers are just different . It’s the only place I’ve ever been involved in a wreck , I very close to being pinned in between the back of my truck and the truck coming in sideways at me . They will run over you if you break down . To be fair though so will the idiots on the turnpike in Pennsylvania.

Whitmer: Michigan will 'hold people responsible' for dam failures

Found this from the story interesting (particularly given the title about holding people responsible)

Dave Percha, who was evacuated from his Midland, said he coronavirus left him unemployed for two months because of the coronavirus, and now he is homeless.

Did the virus fire him? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say he's unemployed because the state ordered businesses closed in response to the coronavirus?

That blue bridge (it was green) in Dandridge was a doozie.... you could always tell if someone was from Dandridge if they had green scrapes on the passenger side of their car.

It took a piece of an overpass to fall and nearly kill a motorist at the I-75 and I-24 interchange in Chattanooga before .gov decided that, at nearly 60 years old, the interchange needed to be completely redesigned.

It makes you wonder where the money has gone. Toward the end of his administration, Clinton signed a 2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill. Bush II did the same. Obama signed the stimulus that allegedly funded “ shovel ready projects”, and I’m sure Trump has probably signed an infrastructure bill. National infrastructure is the federal government’s constitutional responsibility, yet it’s failed time and again to adequately maintain it properly.

After Obama signed the stimulus there were several roads near my home that were repaved, but they didn’t need it. It was complete BS

If that's the bridge you have to cross to get to Evansville from Hopkinsville/Nashville it's scary as f***. Awfully skinny and way, way elevated above the river.

Obama set back & was the biggest Fraud ever launched on the American public. But, oh, since he's a black man he cannot be criticized for his do-nothing doings .... or you'll be called a racist. Lol.

I kind of liked the guy early on while he was in office. But the more that comes out about that administration's nonsense the more that I dislike him.

Jimmy Carter has pretty much put up an opposite post-POTUS legacy. I'm not at all impressed with his failed performance as a POTUS but really admire much of what he's done as a former POTUS.

They all need to shut up about politics though. Dubyah and Bubba as well. One of those 4 is regularly acting a fool.

That one is bad. Did they complete the construction project on it? The north bound bridge was partially shut down the last time I was there, which was probably five years ago.
