I christen thee the flying wasp

anyone planning to take this road toward downtown today...don't! Not a grain of salt on it. as a result the road has nice layer of very slippery snow. I saw someone get rear ended I a myself almost hit the Subaru in front me even though I tried to keep a good 100 feet. In sheer desperation I put the car in reverse which slowed it down enough and stopped only 10 feet away . I think I might have damaged my transmission a little since there was this grinding noise.

It is open from St. Pauls going east

I'll be excited when you can get from St Pauls to 139 again instead of having to battle your way down Newark.

Yes, this is great news, was definitely weirdly excited when I realized there was traffic coming towards me from the opposite side.
Although, I'm disappointed that they didn't restore that service road that peeled off onto Baldwin that let one skip the lines at the light.

Maybe its a part of the extended 8 year closure plan!?

After what seemed like an eternity , summit ave bridge and 139 are open. cut about 4 minutes from my drive home
