Every afternoon before I leave work, I listen to the traffic report to see if I should take my usual route home or make a detour1. So today, like every day, I turned on my radio.
“It’s a tough
commute2 today if you’re traveling on I-35 north. There’s a major slowdown due to an overturned big rig that’s blocking the number two lane.”
Oh no. That meant that I had to take the 40W instead.
“If you’re traveling on the 40W, you’ll find a lot of
congestion3. It’s down to one lane because of a pileup. Emergency vehicles are responding.”
Wow, that meant I might have to take surface streets all the way home.
“And if you’re thinking of taking Broadway Boulevard west from downtown, think again. There is a stalled vehicle blocking the right lane and construction all the way to Main Street.”
Well, I was in a no-win situation. Do I want to spend two hours in gridlock or two more hours at work?
