    Here are some good stats on the Canyon Project, almost 30 yrs old! Quite the feat of engineering.

    Here?s a closeup of what is left of EB I-70 @ MM 121.5.....

    It ain?t gonna be a quick fix.There are several areas where the river has changed its course/channel and is undermining the south retaining walls of EB.

    A couple of street sweepers could have that cleared pretty quick.

    It appears that the roadway was suspended and is now sitting on the ground and possibly a chunk of it is missing. That's likely going to take months to fix.
    Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    The roadway in the picture is EB, which is missing for about 50 yards, not just buried, & those hanging chunks of concrete in the upper left are pieces of WB.

    He set several records on this flight, including taking-off underground! There are other videos of his feat, he just did it last week and you can see why he's a little pumped up at the end!

    I can't begin to imagine the red tape they went through to do this, Red Bull does not disappoint.
