Dell work does drivers no favors
Winston-Salem welcomes Dell, just not today.
Road crews upgrading the Union Cross Road exit ramp to the plant site from eastbound Interstate 40 closed off one lane of the highway yesterday and today. The result: Four-mile backups of traffic coming into Winston-Salem during the morning commute.
Clearly, the Triad's ravaged employment base needs the jobs and the progress. But with hundreds of trucks expected to come and go from that interchange every day, could these backups be a sign of things to come?
The few-thousand motorists who added an hour to their commute through Forsyth County this week might have a few choice words on the matter.

This happens all the time in Nashville - in fact, on I40 also.
It's a never-ending battle trying to keep up with all the lane closure times and how they'll affect your commute time, not to mention the wrecks that drop lanes even further, and in a hurry.
