What are the odds its another pajeet who isn't even supposed to be in the country and can't read English, but got a CDL issued by California?


We still haven’t heard who was driving the truck that caused damage by the Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge at the end of July.

The bridge to nowhere. Not sure why it was even started. I drive that stretch several times a week and have never seen anyone using it.

Well it hasn't been opened to pedestrians yet so that would at least explain that aspect.

I still wonder why it was done though considering there cannot be that much demand to walk from Wald over to the library. Like how many people does that really serve?

from what I recall, there was a very large financial incentive for finishing the project on time or ahead of schedule.

As a field engineer who worked on the new i20/59 bridge straight out of college, I'll take all the credit.

That neighborhood by the library is hopping with kids. I wouldn’t personally do it, but know some parents who let their kids loose at night to walk over to Wald.

PEG - Payton Equipment Group. It was their equipment that hit the bridge.

You just know that driver wanted to crawl in a hole and disappear after he hit that shite.

Traffic jam caught the wife off guard. She got the urge and couldn't get to the bathroom. Ended up having a panic attack and vomiting all over the rd. Fun trip.


Wait, so she had the urge to shite/piss and ended up vomiting?

Whoever owns that truck, and whoever was driving that truck, are fixing to spend a lot of time in a courtroom, and it is not going to end well for them.

In that more likely a redneck who was too drunk or careless to lower the arm on the excavator he was hauling.

Ha ha! Have to admit I've lobbed a few grenades on those sites about the pathetic progress of Massey Road. The wall and flowers is just silly. It looks okay,but who cares? I don't know what to say about the bridge.

While they may be ALDOT/JeffCO projects the way the city of VH hides behind "its not our fault!" is lame. Why they are so passive and apatheic about these things is galling.

When I got to the Alabaster Hwy 31 exit, that’s when I noticed they had all four southbound lanes blocked and were detouring all southbound traffic to Hwy 31.


That intersection is a dumpster-fire southbound on good days.
