Walt Whitman Bridge

Yeah,

it was pretty close because the ballpark, the Phillies ballpark, you pass it on I-95 right before you get on the Walt Whitman Bridge, and then you would take the Walt Whitman Bridge over to Camden, and then the ballpark was right there with a view of the bridge.

So I'd have to Google that one too to see, but that would have been pretty close.

But again, that River Sharks team is... defunct now for more than a decade, well more than a decade, so that one doesn't count.

Back towards the bad news.

42 southbound starting to see a lot of volume already coming off the Walt Whitman Bridge heading down 295.

Through Hillsboro, 206 sets heavy both ways between Amwell Road and Brooks Boulevard.

Construction set up there with a lane restriction.

This is a sequence I remember well.

We purchased a case of Foster's beer, drank that, drove to a nearby strip club, saw a show, after which we downed a few rounds of kamikazes, kamikazes, a clear mixture of vodka, triple second lime juice, drove across the Walt Whitman Bridge, returned to Plymouth meeting, ate stacks of pancakes at a local diner, went bowling for an hour, returned to John's Opal and got high with the other Opal.

Who's John's Opal?

And Opal is a car.

It is, and, like, I came in early today, so I, like, wasn't commuting during the storm or whatever the hell's going on out there.

But every day this week, and really for, like, the last two weeks, it has been a major backup on the Walt Whitman Bridge getting onto it.

Okay.

I take the Ben Franklin, so it's great, but those two areas of 42 merge together, so you're stuck in the traffic either way.

Yeah, yeah.

The amount of work that goes into the Ben Franklin and Walt Whitman Bridges where they constantly have lanes closed, I feel if they let the bridges go, just...

They could build another bridge before those were ready to crumble.

I feel like we could have brand new brid- With the amount of work they're putting into these two bridges constantly, we could just have two new bridges built before these things fall down.

places that bubbled up where there was low-lying creeks that overflowed and just, again, those low-lying areas.

I've been on 95 during one of those storms and got trapped right outside of the Walt Whitman Bridge, and that's right there at 95.

So that was in Philly and also in New York City, the same thing, because the They were getting two to three inches an hour and three to seven inches of rain in just a matter of hours in some parts.

So, yeah, it's been really a wild end to the summer for a lot of different reasons.
