The agency estimates that residents and commuters will save $12.7 million in time and fuel costs.

:confused5: Over a couple million years?

*There ain't shit in Mesquite. A coupla/three casinos and some retirees. Oh, and a Wal-Mart. Gotta have a Wal-Mart. Then, there's the Cali vacation traffic going north. Maybe that counts as some traffic.

They did an overpass here in Ottawa that way last summer. Overnight it was installed and operational!:seasix:

Man, as many years as I've been coming to Vegas, 15 is always fcukered up. Hell, you can't even get on north 15 from the damn airport right now. Big dummies!

Those overpasses in Mesquite were pretty nice, imo. Unless there was some underlying damage I didn't know about. Hell, I never turned off the Cruise Control when I blasted through there. There never was any traffic and no reduction in the posted speed limit.

Up here, they set up bleachers for people to sit on and watch the overnight transplant. It was very cool what technology can do now. The new overpass was brought in from Montreal over a 120 miles away! Quite the operation.:seasix:

Must have had some surpluss funds to burn.

:confused5: Maybe Dawn cuts the grease so when it is in place it wont be greasy, slip, etc. and be all cleaned up ready to roll...er, drive on .
Just a thought.
