New 85 to Shoreline ramp to open this week
MercuryNews.com | 01/30/2006 | New ramps opening at 101-85 should clear up merging messes
Me, and I have good news for you. This is a work in progress and new ramps could open in time for Tuesday’s commute, easing one of the worst merging messes in Silicon Valley. Enjoy:
• The off-ramp from northbound Highway 85 to Shoreline will open, eliminating the need for those drivers to merge with cars trying to reach 101 from north 85.
• A second bridge — the freeway connector from north 85 to north 101 — will be ready. No longer will these drivers have to weave through cars trying to exit at Shoreline or Old Middlefield Way.
• Northbound 101 traffic heading to Shoreline will also have a new off-ramp to themselves without battling traffic merging onto the freeway.
• Work on the carpool-to-carpool lanes between 85 and 101 should finish in May.
Hurray!

W00T!!!!
Now the question is… do I risk it tomorrow? On the one hand, I could get to work in record time; on the other, they might keep it closed just to spite me…
