I was just eating at Lorenzos on Sunrise up by Douglas, and was amazed that between 5-6pm there was ZERO traffic backup in front of the restaurant.

That new flyover and tunnel sure are working wonders, and its only been open a couple days...

Thought I might mention this for all of us who normally avoid that area because of traffic

 

I love that tunnel!!!!

 

There's a tunnel?

 

Yup, but be sure to bring your sunglasses if you go into it, the thing is brighter then ****!!!

Open Wastegate through that tunnel is a very loud and fun experience

 

Hmm, I'll have to check it out sometime, lay on my supertones while driving through it.

 

about time it opened

 

Now they just need to finish fixing the Sunrise/Douglas intersection and Eastbound I-80 Douglas offramp.

 

True dat. That off ramp sucks.

 

That's why I always take Eureka to go up Douglas.

Unless there is a butt load of traffic. Then I ditch out at Riverside (where the I-80 traffic starts), cross over I-80, grab Cirby and cross back over the freeway, over Sunrise, and to Rocky Ridge, which dumps to Douglas. Plus the section of Rocky Ridge before Maidu Park is a blast.

 

I've taken Eureka a couple times, but not the other route you mentioned. Sounds like it's fun though

 

Yeah there's some nice twisties there.

 

35 million dollars, it better be running smoother.

 

Damn it, I went to try out the tunnel today to go over to 65 and up to Lowes, but it was closed for some reason That sucked!

Thats my corner. I own all there.
