Orange everywhere



I just drove to and from Logan over the weekend. There were orange barrels everywhere. 9,000 to be exact. In case you didn't know, UDOT is doing a HUGE freeway expansion of I-15. It will be 24 miles beginning from the point of the mountain to Payson. It's going to take TWO years to finish it, working year round. All the interchanges through our town are affected.
Don't you feel sorry for us? The expansion is way overdue and it will be really nice when it's done, but honestly, it's a complete pain while the work is being done. Here is the link to the site with live web cams showing the traffic congestion. (I think Claire will particularly like this link.) If you travel this way, plan accordingly and bring a big dose of patience along with you.

It is a real pain in the hinder, for sure, and we can't wait until the road construction is done. It better be pretty nice to compensate for all the delays.
