I assume they couldn't get the last few pieces of heavy equipment hauled out due to wet conditions. Rain this morning won't help with that either.
You know we're in iowa when we have this as a headline on one of our news sites

I was telling my wife the other day how funny it is that a flyover gets news coverage. Any other city, its just part of the infrastructure.
Yeah, it seems like texas slaps up a new one weekly. They'd never have room for any other news if they were covering each flyover.
I think this one has/is getting all the coverage because it is one big cluster ****.I was telling my wife the other day how funny it is that a flyover gets news coverage. Any other city, its just part of the infrastructure.
Yeah I have visions of the I-35 bridge in the Cities or the double decker collapse in San Fran during the earthquake etc.I'm going to die driving over this thing, I just know it.
Lol they spend how many years on this and have a nice big wide arc and its only 40 mph??

Houston did have a Huey Lewis concert on the roadway when the beltway was opened back in 1990. They had free popcorn and so much of it got trampled into the road they had to delay the opening to clean it up.
Wait is that correct? I thought the yellow speed limit on curves etc. was considered the limit at that location? Is it only a suggestion/advisory speed? Has it changed or am I just not remembering it right?Money says unless it's enforced that traffic will be much faster than that.
ETA: Yellow sign is technically only an advisory if I remember correctly.

I may be wrong.
I treat them as advisories
I understand them to be a warning of the DOT considers the "safe" speed, however, they are not regulated. If you get in an accident above the advisory speed that could be factored into the fines/charges.
