40 west fuct

[Big B Hova]

Been in traffic for over an hour just before Essex road.

Google maps says construction but it ain't moving

 

[TCHB]

I wasted way to much time on river and lake highways.

 

[Big B Hova]

Just a freaking lane closed

 

[Tank]

Supposed to be like that all
Summer for a bridge repair.

Everyone knows that you leave your river house on Monday between 4-5am. Sundays are for non-home owners.

I think Route 66 just east of Amboy is still down from flash floods a few years back last I checked

Doesn't someone post this nearly every Sunday during the summer? It's the price you pay living ~250 miles from the water you want to boat on, that happens to be the same body of water everyone else in the metro region wants to boat on. I don't mean to downplay how much it sucks. I've certainly been there many times, and it totally blows. I'm just saying that it should be expected that the odds are someone out of the tens of thousands of people traveling on Friday or Sunday to the same general destination will likely get into some sort of accident, or there will be roadwork, or you will get a flat (or two). Work it into your expectation. Bring extra snacks and water, and TP. Make sure your tank is full before you leave.

This year it’s worse because there’s literally a construction closure (1 lane for now) that’s going to be in place for a year.

I do all the above. Unfortunately I can't live at the river.

This particular one lane issue seems to get people confused

I remember the reconstruction of numerous bridges in the past 10 years…. Hardly ever a back up. I think people just got dumber and can’t merge and keep moving.

 

[Joker]

Been in traffic for over an hour just before Essex road.

Google maps says construction but it ain't moving

Get used to it

It supposedly can be done, I’m testing the 62 through Amboy to Mountain Springs next Sunday

Shhhhhh!

 

[crzy2bealive]

Took us 28 mins from start of traffic to right after it.

And we left the house at 4

We had friends leave at noon and got stuck in the bullshit for 1 hour.

Tried to take national trails highway exit but it was closed.

I usually leave 7am but decided to have a beach day today.

You need 4x4 to go around bridges

 

[Joker]

You need 4x4 to go around bridges

Even without water?

 

[riverroyal]

I took dez center, which I rarely do
Average speed the entire way was under 60.
Bumper to bumper for 70 miles. Unreal.
Nobody was passing. There was no where to go.

Did the same route. The left lane was wide open other than the dare devils coming at you every now and then.

That’s the big problem one doesn’t feel like merging cause they need to pass them 3 cars and will wait to last second and have to hit the brakes hard backing everyone up. Same thing on so cal freeways.

 

[DBMX]

I drove through there on Saturday heading east and it was wide open. Didn't notice a closure/back up on West side either. Why is there a closure on Sunday then? I would think they would close it on Monday morning?

It’s a permanent lane closure. The backup is dependent upon traffic.

Well, not with that kind of attitude!

No, but you start late on Monday's.

 

[240Hallett]

Got home about a half hour ago from Havasu. There were 2 or 3 temporary (orange cones) lane closures and one long-term lane closure (concrete barriers). Minimal slow downs. Four hours to Cucamonga with two pee stops.

 

[Todd Mohr]

I was at work in Tempe by 10am, 3 hours door to door. Was on the water at sundown last night, leaving Monday early gives you the whole weekend.

You say that like it's a good thing . 4 hours to Rancho ! That's crazy . I don't miss the drive at all .

 

[Big B Hova]

My drive from Simi Valley to Needles is 273 miles and non stop with normal non traffic is 4 hours 20 minutes.

Thanks for the info mini bladder.

 

[HNL2LHC]

Came back to town this afternoon. Totally uneventful. Then went out to dinner and the Flying X with some customers. Had a great time with the town to ourselves. Some of you guys must be doing it backwards.

 

[240Hallett]

I’ll blame it on the old chicks

 

[240Hallett]

No. Four hours heading out there on a Friday afternoon would be a good thing. I was just passing along information. Yesterdays trip was about 270 miles after dropping off a friend in Upland.

 

[HNL2LHC]

Hey, that is my issue. You calling me an old chick? First time I brought my mother to Havasu when we bought our house. The wife didn’t come. First conversation with my mother was how many times did you guys have stop so your son could pee.
