Dear MNDot..

Whose brilliant idea was it to close down one of the few remaining lanes on I-35W this evening right where traffic from I-94 was diverting from due to the overnight closure of the Lowry Tunnel? Do you seriously have no one who works there who actually lives in South Minneapolis, who could maybe give you a hint that this would be a serious traffic nightmare?

I am getting so tired of the "suprise - unannounced lane closure!" game that keeps happening on 35W. I realize it's under construction. I realize that I knew there was a lot of upcoming construction on the freeways nearby when I bought my house. But it's starting to feel like the powers-that-be actually go out of their way to make this even more of a pain to navigate.
