Surviving Without I-64
It's been a very busy week, but I wanted to give a belated update on my first week commuting without I-64. I survived!
It wasn't as bad as I had feared, which seems to be a common reaction. I don't know what alternate route everyone else is taking, but I-44 has been very pleasant. I do notice more congestion getting on I-44, at highway 141. But once I get through that, it's been relatively smooth sailing. I have a schedule that's a little different every day, so that probably helps.
I do automatically add about ten minutes to my commute off the top, just getting to I-44. But the fact that I'm not sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic everday is a nice surprise. We'll see if anything changes next week but so far, so good!
