Southern Indiana rejoices as the I-64 repairs end...

It's been killing me.

My normal commute from Southern Indiana is about 30 minutes to my office in Louisville. I LOVE the drive. It is a pleasant trip down the Ohio River to the Kennedy Bridge and across to  Louisville. All of that has been thoroughly messed up by a month long construction project on I-64 that has snarled traffic and put much more congestion in Southern Indiana. Folks from Utica and Jeffersonville (like me), end up getting stuck on the bridge  and I have had to leave home EXTRA early and leave work EXTRA late to avoid the crunch.

Now for the good news:

The good folks at the government did a very smart thing. Realizing that they were crimping the style of us Southern Indiana folks, they offered an incentive (a LARGE one) to the contractors for finishing the repairs quickly.

The result? Southern Indiana (and for that matter Kentucky as well) all gets things back to normal and order is restored!

Yeah. I guess I am a simple guy. I just want my small pleasures, like cruising to work without tons of traffic and enjoying the sunrise on the sunny side of the river --in Indiana.

Thanks to the Kentucky road  crews for a job well done and  the  incentive  that  helped them finish ahead  of schedule. (grin)
