11/11/2011 2:28:24 PM

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Thanks for posting this. Guess I'll be taking 751 home.

11/11/2011 2:28:33 PM

probably means Glenwood going towards the airport is going to be backed up as well

11/11/2011 2:33:50 PM

i'm heading out in about 15 minutes. will report on what the back roads are like. hopefully not too bad.

11/11/2011 2:33:57 PM

Yea heading to eastern NC from Carrboro this afternoon. Looks like I'm taking the back roads to 540.

11/11/2011 2:34:33 PM

well shit.

11/11/2011 2:35:30 PM

Damn Wonder what the cause of the accident was.

Quote :

"WAKE COUNTY (WTVD) -- One person was killed Friday afternoon in a multi-vehicle accident in the westbound lanes of I-40. It happened near the Airport Boulevard exit at Mile Marker 285. Pictures from Chopper 11 HD showed a pickup truck and a SUV resting next to each other in the median. Another vehicle appeared to have smashed through a barricade on the shoulder and gone down a steep embankment."

11/11/2011 2:35:41 PM

^I'm watching the traffic cam and I was wondering why people were walking down the hill on the side of the highway

I guess its b/c a car went down there

I hope not - that's my only other alternative to getting home

11/11/2011 2:38:21 PM

Last time that I-40 was closed down due to an accident, Glenwood West was backed the fuck up for miles

11/11/2011 2:39:08 PM

Yep, car in the woods:

11/11/2011 2:40:15 PM

Couple cop cars and tow trucks are starting to leave the scene

11/11/2011 2:41:44 PM

It's still going to take them a couple hours to investigate the crash before they reopen the highway I bet.

11/11/2011 2:43:23 PM

and here comes a newsvan

11/11/2011 2:45:07 PM

I'm kind of surprised traffic isn't backed up further. I'm sure that will change in the next two hours.

11/11/2011 2:47:15 PM

It's bad, and it will get worse before it gets better. It is in the west bound lanes, but I'm sure the east bound rubber-neckers will screw things up plenty.

11/11/2011 2:48:50 PM

There is also a big accident on Hwy 54 between Airport and Aviation. Backed up for a while. Also the traffic light at Hwy 54 and Airport isn't working

Getting home is going to be a disaster.

11/11/2011 2:52:51 PM

lol Raleigh pwnt

11/11/2011 2:57:27 PM

This is one of the things I don't miss about the triangle. This type of shit just doesn't happen on Hwy 70 or 24 in the Morehead City area.

11/11/2011 2:58:45 PM

^^technically all the shit hit the fan in Cary. If you live and work in Raleigh you should be okay.

Sadly I do not

11/11/2011 2:59:29 PM

that's a beastly traffic jam

NOTHING i hate more than sitting in traffic

11/11/2011 3:04:09 PM

Uggggghhhhhhhhhhhh. I work in Durham, live in Cary. CRAP.

Wonder if my boss will let me leave now?

11/11/2011 3:04:12 PM

Glenwood is backed the fuck up

11/11/2011 3:04:56 PM

^^ Me too. That's why I'm taking 751 home haha. Hopefully it won't be too bad. Maybe I'll sneak out now.

Alright, leaving work now. Everyone wish me luck

My alternate route is (from downtown) angier to miami to page rd to (?)rd to aviation pkwy to Evans rd, but I'm guessing that is going to be

how is 55 looking?

from high house to 540?

11/11/2011 3:34:02 PM

on the phone with the gf, confirmed that traffic is shit on 54, so she's heading down highhouse to 55.

11/11/2011 3:34:38 PM

64 west to 49 to Charlotte is clear as day

11/11/2011 3:38:21 PM

gf reports that 55 isn't bad.

11/11/2011 3:52:01 PM

I think I'm going to take Davis Drive to 64 to I40 E. Only tricky part is getting across 54 to get to Davis.

ugh, what a day this is...

11/11/2011 3:58:02 PM

It is days like this that make me SOOOOO thankful I no longer work in RTP

I remember being stuck in traffic like that for hours just trying to make the 15 mile drive home.

11/11/2011 4:04:21 PM

751 to 64 was completely fine.

11/11/2011 4:24:02 PM

i either take 40 to fayetteville or 54 to fayetteville to get home from RTP so i would imagineim in for a wait because of detouring traffic, that road can be a bitch.

maybe ill take cornwallis to 751 to hope valley road

11/11/2011 4:27:36 PM

or maybe you should just shut your whore mouth

11/11/2011 4:28:19 PM

listen here nigger, youve no place to use that tone towards a man of my stature

11/11/2011 4:29:02 PM

11/11/2011 4:31:01 PM

WRAL says highway is now reopened but traffic backed up to Johnston County

11/11/2011 4:36:17 PM

they gon' get raped

11/11/2011 4:36:58 PM

Anyone know how the beltline is doing ,specifically the outer from capitalish to Wade?

11/11/2011 4:37:23 PM

swimmingly

11/11/2011 4:38:01 PM

IT'S A CONSPIRACY TO PROMOTE THE FORTHCOMING TRIANGLE EXPRESSWAY

11/11/2011 5:01:00 PM

People on 54 need to comprehend "do not block intersection."

Still didn't take me too long to cross it though. And now I'm forced to go by the grocery store I was about to put off till tomorrow. Signs.

11/11/2011 5:13:42 PM

still bad?

i gotta drive from the 440 intersection (exit 293) to miami blvd.

should i look up back roads?

11/11/2011 5:19:55 PM

^ yes, and I don't even live out there anymore
