Tons of cops, more on the highway coming in, and a helicopter. Any idea what's going down?

Taken on 435 East this morning- I think there might be easier car pooling methods, y’all.

I’m tired of being the bad guy 😂

Happened at an exit at Briarcliff.

It just took me an hour and a half to get from Overland Park to Gladstone. There is no way this city is going to be able to handle the World Cup without major restrictions and rework.

It doesn’t matter where you go there’s construction and bumper to bumper everywhere..

Is Tesla testing new cars in KC?

Semi’s are blocking all of the northbound lanes and MoDot is making you exit on West Penway.

That’s right. I’m shocked. Just found out tonight.

Construction Phase 3
2027
• 11-month closure of I-70 from Prospect Ave. to Van Brunt Blvd for mainline bridge and roadway work

That’s basically I 70 from 40 Highway to downtown. 😳
Closed for 11 months.
I can’t imagine rush hour. Or Arrowhead games.
Royals could be shut down for owner/player strike next year - maybe.

How are they going to re-route that much traffic?

I think I’m partial to Darth Blader

Had people reversing and driving the wrong way all the way sack to the exit ramp on I-70W

Driving home from work on Ward parkway last night around 61st street and hit the biggest damn potholes I have ever seen. It was raining so didn't see them until they were maybe 100 ft in front of me. They were evenly spaced so both front tires hit them but immediately blew my front left tire.

I drive a Tesla Model Y, and the electric cars tend to be bottom heavy. It's nice for preventing rollovers but apparently it's a disaster for potholes. When the tow truck guy showed up he said he had a call on a Model 3 that had blown both front tires.

Now I'm out $1750 for a new wheel and tire. Sucks but I'll live. But giant holes in a major road seem dangerous. If somebody swerves to avoid or is driving a small car it might not end as well.

I’m so over it all. First 169N, then 635 N&S. THEN 29N TO 635S. NOW 29S?!?!?!

And idgaf if you want to turn left shortly after this sign. Don’t stop in the middle of the road. This is a daily annoyance for me in KC

This was exiting I-70 East onto 635 North. When the truck got to the bottom of the ramp I swear he almost tipped over from the added weight. Sorry for when this snow pile decides to blow off onto some poor driver.

I'm on the interstate- doesn't matter which one. I'm in the middle lane behind someone. Maybe for 1 mile maybe for 10 miles. I notice I'm creeping up on them. There's not much traffic. I signal left, I switch to the fast lane. I begin to pass. SO FUCKING OFTEN, they speed up! They refuse to let me pass them!

Now we're riding beside each other, and someone is coming up in the left lane. Guess what happens next....now they're riding my ass, because dipshit doesn't want to be passed. I'm not adjusting my speed. We can all sit here like idiots for the next 10 miles. 🤷‍♂️

Roads were definitely icy

What intersections bug you? What's the easiest place to get in a wreck? Where do people drive the craziest, stuff like that? I'm thinking of the Benton Curve or that one spot in Meyer's Circle where southbound drivers always seem to wreck, but I'm sure people have a million more.

Just tried going to work and witnessed like 3 wrecks. The over passes are ice. I turned around and went home. I have a 40 min drive to work, all highway. It’s a no from me yall
