I recently moved to Mont. Co. and now have to take 270 from 495 (inner
loop). I was unaware of the bridge that's going in over the Spur.  This
Contruction seems to be the cause of the slowdowns that are occurring
there every day beginning around 3:00.  I generally hit it about 3:30
to 3:40 so I don't know exactly what time it starts.  Why there is any
slowdown at all is beyond me!? I still haven't figured out why people
feel the need to slow down to 20 mph because they see those orange barrels
or jersey barriers at the _edge_ of the shoulder.
What is the scheduled completion for this bridge construction?
Will the bridge be built to accomodate the wider spur when they eventually
do that?
When is the spur to be widened anyway? I thought I read in Dr. Gridlock
that it was supposed to happen this year, but I can't remember any details.
Why is this bridge being built at all? After checking the map, I still
don't see any major road that could require another bridge other than
