For the first time in months, I had sashimi for dinner (good for us cardiac patients) at Zen Steak & Sushi in Gallup.
Since our county is at green level status on coronavirus, we are able to have some indoor restaurant dining (25% of occupancy).
That all went fine except for the drive home.
The highway department has closed one lane of two in each direction and this is causing massive traffic snarls at our exit on Interstate 40 (exit 39). Today, it was backed up all the way to Gallup. The only alternate route available now is on Route 66 from Gallup to the Iyanbito exit (that's one exit to the west from ours). Even Route 66 was backed up. It took me an hour to get home.
The main problem with the traffic are the thousands of big rigs who use I-40. It would me nice if we had a frontage road from Iyanbito to the Flying J.
This is the third year in a row that construction on I-40 at our exit has been causing problems.
At least the meal was good.
