OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[Elkhound Odin]

how much of that "road" was created trying to recover the truck? It looks to end abruptly at the truck.

[skaredshtles]

lol

Not to cut the guy any slack, but this picture helps explain how he could think he was on a cool 4x4 road until suddenly he wasn't

Attachment 469668

Also - if you look at the USGS topo quad for the area, it *does* show a road going up there.

But... you know - use your noggin you dumb fucker.

Youthful exuberance partly to blame, perhaps?

the part in the foreground shows no damage/disturbance, so it wasn't created just to get him. But he should have turned around way before he did.

heading into the belly of the beast again. maybe I'll post some pics for adrenelated.

I think traffic will be fine this weekend (just like last weekend). Prime leaf-peepin' doesn't start for another week or two.

Really? Why so bad today?

[summit]

Not a clue... I was headed up.

Why was the airport so bad? Where the fuck is everyone going in mid-Sept?

[m2711c]

Shoulder season is the new high season.



fact.

[Danno]

no traffic in either direction (285, not 70).

I was taking my wife to the airport at 6am yesterday morning and Peña was fuckin' PACKED. At 6am on a Sunday. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Da Fuck?

Da Fuck?

DIA *is* the 3rd busiest airport in the world, according to a report published this spring: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/10/worl...l-ranking.html

I guess a good chunk of that traffic must be local arrival/departures.

[fastfred]

pretty basic it's four lane highway with a massive amount of on going development
costco just opened huge amounts of warehousing and thousands and thousands of homes/apartments/condo/hotels being built
with zero fucks given to roads and planning

but don't worry the city of denver is performing a study right now as I type this so they can figure out what to do
plenty of groups are lined up to sue the city if they decide to make it an 8 lane highway
cause you know more lanes creates more traffic
instead everyone is going to take the train the bus ride their bike and magically float on unicorns rainbows and farts

you cannot approve that much development without a real plan
but it's colorado we can

[Danno]

6am sounds early, but for an airport anyone driving in at 6am is right in the wheelhouse of "normal" morning departure times.

[The SnowShow]

Was it all Lil Wayne’s entourage leaving Boulder?

[ColMan]

Not to worry, after 2 years of planning and 4 years of construction, we will have a beautiful new toll lane on Pena.

If you see the amount of multi family residential development occuring along Pena you can get a feel for the future traffic jams that are coming

[skaredshtles]

Went to pick my wife up at 10:30 today - Peña was again, predictably, packed to the gills. Moving along, though, and surprisingly little in the way of dum-dum driving going on.

[Elkhound Odin]

They need another main access road to the airport that is not a toll. Pena is a bottleneck (especially if there's an accident) and an extra lane won't fix that.

You know... it might be worth it to drive I-70 east to the E-470 interchange and just take the toll road for that last few miles just to avoid Peña.

ETA: $2.65 for that stretch. I think I just found my new route to DIA.
