Delayed getting on to TCH from Vets Memorial due to back-up at McKenzie #yyjtraffic. I knew today would be a test of the underpass but didn’t expect this type of delay. 1/2

Of all types of weather conditions to plan for, one would think continuous rain would be top of the list. This doesn’t bode well for McKenzie project designers and engineers #yyjtraffic 2/2
