Southbound has never been too bad for congestion in the times I have used it, North bound can bunch up a lot in the morning commute.

At 1 min 25 sec - just look at the cyber truck doing over 100 kms per hour

In retrospect, really impressive how well the Pattullo held together through the years, now that we can see its skeleton. Not bad for an 88-year-old.

IMO it should be 60 km/h. I understand why the old bridge was 50, but 60 on the new bridge makes no sense and is artificially low.

What? One of Elon's wankpanzers going double the speed limit? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Can you get a steady shot from the off ramp all the way over the Old Yale Rd. overpass?

I've yet to see a clear image or shot of the Old Yale Rd. overpass.

Thanks!

Will do. Not sure when though. Lost drone yesterday, was able to recover but need to send for replacement now…

Awesome, thanks!

I know that scary moment when you lose connection with a drone, or when gusts pick up and your fighting against battery time to recover.

Hope the repairs aren't too intensive.

Great coverage, thank you!

Was actually flying my own drone for a video in Japan today (DJI Mimi 4K)

I think the merge will be okay. It works well enough as a CD system that doesn’t disturb the main flow of traffic, also west bound merging traffic from Patullo will already be moving at a good pace, so cross merges shouldn’t be a problem (there are no dead starts on it).

October 10, 10:30AM. Arch in the same position.
I was flying last night and winds were super strong. First time my drone was giving me a warning about strong winds. There were assembling something on the barges. I suspect things could’ve been slowed down, or even postponed Due to strong winds
Im around all day to fly once it’s moving down!

Ironworkers understood the assignment without any instructions.

I’m here now. It’s coming down at rate - 1-2 feet per hour I would estimate
