FTA:"However, the Wednesday closures will not be in affect during the holiday season."

Isn't this a little bit of a gamble?

\oblig.

It's my right to stop on the freeway and wander around aimlessly and urinate next to my open car door.

Only one comment? I wonder how many will be posted by the time I'm done typing this meaningless comment. 2? 3? idk

They're taking quite a gamble by doing that...

It took you five minutes to type that?

In previous blasting operations Sundays traffic backs up and people are out of their vehicles walking around.

Other Nevada Fark news: For the three of you who still read the Reno paper, I hope you like your news downsized (new window) by 15 percent.

STFU, it is NOT because we spend all day on FARK.

They do detours through parkinglots all the time. One time I was going through a detour through a stripmall, and there was a liquor store in there. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? THe government promoting drinking? I just had to buy a bottle of George Dickel #12 and drive straight home to drink the whole thing.

THis is an outrage.

/someone think of the children.

I couldn't figure out what to type at first, so it took me a while to think of it. -.-

it sounds like this isn't a detour, but rather somewhere to put cars while they wait four hours for the freeway to reopen, as opposed to making the road itself into a parking lot.

WHO THE FARK WAS THAT!?!?! (Been a while since I've seen, but still think it's awesome)

Road construction = jobs, and by directing traffic to the casino, impatient motorists can gamble during traffic jams, pumping money in the economy. Recession over!!!

 
Satchel_Brown 2008-12-03 08:40:55 PM  
Hmm..why not just make the northbound one lane and route the southbound over there? It's pretty flat around Primm too...just drive out into the desert around it. We drove in the open field to get to Prim once due to an accident on southbound I-15.

Satchel_Brown: Hmm..why not just make the northbound one lane and route the southbound over there?

FTA:

Blasting operations will shutdown southbound I-15 two times in December and throughout next year.

Somehow I don't think that anyone wants to be on the road while this is going on.

 
Whatthefark 2008-12-03 09:05:41 PM  
That means NHP will stop southbound traffic at Primm and have drivers exit there until the road has been reopened.

They should get a few RVs full of hookers to 'help with the wait'.

Why not, it's Nevada.

/that could be their new slogan.

Why not do this shiat... AT NIGHT

I'm sure the Primm Resort through this idea out on their own.

why not require traffic to be redirected and to wait until it reopens in their parking lot?

"honey, we have some time to kill, lets see what the slots are doing!"

 
feedle 2008-12-04 12:24:02 AM  
You ever been to Primm, NV?

That's all there is there. A casino. Well, three of them to be precise. Oh, and a liquor store on the California side of town that sells CA Lottery tickets.

 
Aevum 2008-12-04 10:41:00 AM  
Heck of a job DOTty.
I know... lets just close the ONLY road between Vegas and LA for a few hours.
