The new I-40 is kind of boring

8:30 AM EST on January 12, 2012

I know this happened last week, but a portion of the new I-40 is finally open. For you out-of-towners, the "new" I-40 will replace the old "very dangerous yet exhilarating to cross" I-40 Crosstown Bridge that runs east and west to the south, but not north, of downtown OKC. Sorry, for adding that confusing sentence, I just wanted to use one that include all four cardinal directions.

Last Friday I took a drive on the highway just for the Hell of it. My thoughts...it's kind of boring. The only thing that makes it special is that freaky ass bridge that will cause many traffic accidents over the next 50 - 75 years. Other than that, it's like any other new North American highway.
