In case you haven't heard, Highway 64/40 through western St. Louis has been shut down for a year. My commute to work takes me nowhere near highway 40 but the local news media warned for months that everyone, no matter what route one takes to work, would be screwed because all that traffic on highway 40 would have to be rerouted thus causing traffic jams of epic proportions on every traffic artery in the St. Louis metrapolitan area. The first day of the major shutdown went, much to the dissapointment of many local reporters, smoothly. They explained that traffic was light on Jan. 2 because people were still on vacation and school hadn't resumed.
One January 3 I was forced to take an alternate route, not because my regular route was affected by the shutdown, but because someone got into yet another accident at Gravois and 270 backing up traffic to Tesson Ferry. That's almost a weekly occurance and luckly I heard about it before I entered 270.
As for the picture, it was shot at the interestion of 141 and I don't remember where.
