Oh Frabjous Day!

Much to my surprise, all four eastbound lanes of I-10 between I-45 and US-59 were open this afternoon! Approaching I-45 it wasn't obvious because there was a backup in the lanes that exit to 45. And, of course, once I got past that backup, three cars in adjacent lanes didn't bother to speed up, holding the rest of the traffic up. As I got around them I realize that there was about a quarter mile of empty space ahead of them where everyone else was already up to speed. Hurray!

This means no more Loop 610 on the way home.

Unless there's more road work schedule further up. If so, I hope the stimulus money runs out really, really soon.
