You know that spring's well into her season and summer's very close when the road crews are out digging up the roads. So much road work is going on in the city that driving is more waiting than going. Pretty much every year the city does maintenance work to the deck of the Harbour Bridge. This year is no exception. Which brings 4 lanes of traffic down to 2. Not normally a problem as people can take the Reversing Falls bridge - except this year there is water main replacement going on on Main Street west and there are huge detours. The only way I can get back and forth from work is to take a bridge and both routes are clogged. *sigh* The evening commute today was paticularly hellish - but it's not so much the waiting in line, but those &^@#^$&Y drivers who feel entitled to sail up the right hand lane (which ends in right turn only lane just before the bridge) past kilometers of backed up traffic and butt their way into line at the top of the hill just before the bridge. I'm trying to be "oh, so what" about it but can't get thoughts of spike belts or, perhaps a roof mounted twin 50-cal to spit hot lead at them as they slip on by. These people drive me nuts! Where's my personal aircar???? This is the 2000's - we were all supposed to be flying by now and not endlessly waiting.
