Today's KC Star

Iran, road construction, 1926"Ramp Opens Today"
43 days after closing the ramp @ I-470, traffic begins to flow once again.  The fix for the collapsed ramp was a 225 foot bridge which was completed 19 days early, "for about $5.2 million-including a $760,000 bonus for beating the deadline".

 Meanwhile the trek (for some of us) continues through the Wildwood gulag, wondering what might have been if the urgency all the elected officials told the media (and citizens) would have taken place.

In related news, the other shoe is about to drop...
NW Barry Road Phase III Improvements – Revised Bid Opening Date shall be August 30, 2010 at 9:30 a.m.

I can hardly wait.
