Through My Dirty Windshield http://weblogs.wxmi.com/news/traffic/dirty-windshield/ FOX 17's Robb Westaby talks about anything from traffic to road notices. Well, really anything about driving. en-us Copyright 2010 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:12:46 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification VIDEO: Motorcycle Near Miss
This trend hasn't been picked up by American riders, as far as I can tell. But some of the stuff from countries where they don't speak English are pretty hairy.

Of course, if they were ordinary, no one would bother posting them.

LAFAYETTE ST closed under I-196
Tuesday (9.7) 1 p.m. through Wednesday (9.7) 5 a.m.
Logo FIX 75x75.jpg


The Fix on I-196 has moved to Phase Two:

  • The ramp from US-131 SOUTHBOUND to I-196 EASTBOUND, closed until November 1
    • Detour: Exit at PEARL ST or MARKET AVE for access to downtown Grand Rapids
  • The ramp from I-196 EASTBOUND to COLLEGE AVE must be replaced. That ramp will close, so anyone aiming to get to Spectrum Butterworth or GRCC must exit at OTTAWA AVE
  • The ramp from I-196 WESTBOUND to OTTAWA AVE is closed until November 14. Exit early at COLLEGE AVE.
  • The ramp from IONIA AVE to I-196 EASTBOUND is closed.
  • The ramp from IONIA AVE to I-196 WESTBOUND is closed.
  • The ramp from US-131 NORTHBOUND to I-196 EASTBOUND, previously closed for four months, is now open.
  • Construction zone speed limits to apply
    • 45 mph when workers are present, which will be almost all the time, including weekends
    • 55 mph when no one is around (the 60 mph limit won't apply, because the speed limit on this stretch of freeway has always been 55)
  • Weave/Merge lanes must still be constructed. MDOT has not said there will be lane closures, but I believe they will be unavoidable at times, which will mean just ONE lane at times.
  • Bridges must be completed.
