    WSB – what’s up with the work on Eastbound High Bridge? With a HoneyBucket out there wonder how long they plan to have the lane closed.

    I noticed 4 cars following a bus today around 1:00. Guess they were waiting for the barrels to end to get to 99 . Wonder how many times this happened? 

Sorry, comment time is over.
