For w.e. reason we are not using jersey barriers. The place is lit up like a Christmas tree with lights. Nevermind all the signs that are up. What would jersey barriers have stopped? The backhoe and the truck were in the same lane. And as for the operators, they are great operators. The company is very picky about who they put in the machines. Now Im assuming you live or commute on the Cape. If the bridge is such a problem...take the tunnel you guys are so proud about. Have a great day.
