215 Widening Making a Difference?

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

So, it’s pretty much done!  The 215 Beltway widening near South Decatur.  Drivers have been waiting for this to happen for a long time.   Remember that bottleneck at the 215 interchange with I-15 every morning and afternoon?!  It’s pretty much gone!  What a relief!

I don’t have to drive in the heavy traffic that much, because I work early mornings.  But, when I do, (especially at that interchange) I always thought to myself, how do people do it??   How do they sit in this clogged traffic for so long! 

It would drive me nuts! 

So even though I don’t experience the delays, I do feel the relief for all of you that do.   Three lanes makes a big difference!

You may see some closures overnight or early morning hours for a while, but don’t worry, there’s nothing new planned there for a while.

Enjoy the smooth commute!

P.S.   I am moving full time into the Morning Anchor position now.   We have hired the wonderful, Melissa Torres, as our new Traffic Anchor.  I will always have an interest in traffic and be involved on the morning show, but Melissa is taking over the position and “What’s Driving You Crazy?!” segment.   We are excited to have her!  And I am excited to work with a great morning team!
