New 35W Bridge Opens to Traffic

The new 35W bridge opened to traffic at 5:00 am this morning, over 3 months ahead of schedule. (Video footage on CNN.) Local politicians applauded the effort and patted themselves on the back, as if it wasn't their fault the old one fell into the river last August. In true Minnesota fashion, the first traffic jam on the new span followed at 5:01.

I saw this on "Kim's" blog. She drove home that way later in the day and said it was smooth sailing.
