    so let me get this crap straight, if i wanted to be on such a highway, i'd have to get onto I-95, travel south, for several hundred miles, then get onto this fictitious highway, travel back North into MASS, then by pass all my stops..??

    that's an awful lot of wasted fuel, just to get onto a highway with no exits...

    From my perspective, it's 89 miles of hell because I don't usually deliver or pick up in the 128,495,90 east of 84 Bermuda triangle.
    I'm just trying to get through there and it's the only place I have to drive through that I almost expect to get stuck in a 30 mile long traffic jam because a cop pulled somebody over or there is a "bump ahead" sign or a broken down car or......

    There was a 10 mile long traffic jam. AT 2 A.M!?

    i run I-495 twice each night, north and then south on my return to the warehouse.

    yeah,, they were doing some bridge work and had 2 lanes closed, then they were paving around the exit 32 area, and still are in fact.

    but yeah, at or about 2 AM, i am south bound.....and yeah, they have us get off the road, then back on.....if they need to close it for a bit.

    i will trade you Pete i could go see my kids in Portsmouth instead of sitting In Fl wondering if Port of Everglades will be under water in the morning

    Gizmo drove right passed me and musicgal as we were getting unloaded and never brought any coffee
    and he doesn't like the Red Sox he should have to deliver to the Bronk as punishment

    Ive dealt with the same thing on the jersey turnpike. Seems they dont wanna swing the huge ibeams for the new bridges over traffic. All you could see was clearance lights and maybe one random four wheeler.
