- how does that make any sense at all? -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 11:44 10
  - they are doing work on it, getting ready for the new section of the bridge and installing new temporary sections. -- nm - Stacy Sep 3, 11:46 6
    - you'd think, that with the state in the fiscal shape it is, they wouldn't want to pay for the overtime and holiday pay to have people working on it - znufrii Sep 3, 11:47 5
      - When else would you be able to shut down one of the main ways into the city without completely disrupting traffic? - Stephen Sep 3, 11:52 4
        
        but see, oftentimes (at least around here), labour day is almost THE busiest travel day of the year -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 11:56 3
        
        Then it is good to keep that kind of stress off of a failing bridge. -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 12:00 2
        
        bah, think big picture - think of all the money that could be made off the movie rights? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 12:08
        
        I'm getting ready soon and crossing it hopefully before the traffic mess and the closure. -- nm - Stacy Sep 3, 12:02
  - it's Labor Day Weekend so nobody has to work and everyone will just stay home and not go anywere. -- nm - decline Sep 3, 11:45
  - It is an annual event. That way it can be planned for. -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 11:45
