Well, not really bullshit, it certainly needed repair; but with 10 months of beltline resurfacing coming to the south of the city- I imagine quite a few commuters are not excited about the alternate paths. The 13 miles of beltline from Wade Avenue to the 40 split east of the city will be slowly replaced every night from 9pm to 6am. Drivers are encouraged to go *way the hell out of the way* north of the city on 440 or 540. The fun starts tonight, the N&O has the gritty details:
The work includes replacement of about a dozen broken concrete pavement slabs, with extensive repair work to the existing pavement elsewhere. After repairs are finished, all lanes in both directions will be topped with a layer of special asphalt called UltraThin.
UltraThin- the new Black.
