THE ROUNDFATHER
880 has been getting the middle wall redone for some time now and I'm happy that it's finally being finished especially Hayward/Fremont/Milpitas etc. It is a big pain to share lanes with those cement Jersey Barriers and no shoulder. Now I see that it's reached my neck of the woods in San Lorenzo and creeping it's way up North towards the Coliseum.
One day I saw a metal bracket they use to set the concrete the size of a car drive shaft get hit on the Southbound side, thrown over the wall, over me in the HOV lane Northbound and it bounced into a car in the next lane over!!! I heard it crunch the drivers side fender. That was crazy. No time to react nothing it just flew over me and bounced into the car next to me.:wow
Now that construction is complete in some areas I'm seeing a lot of dust being swirled around and picked up by the fast moving cars. I'm wondering if I need to start wearing a gas mask or painters mask at the very least on my moto commute.
The dust that's picking up from that shoulder area is thick. I can see it in my lights especially early in the morning and I'm just breathing that all in on my commute.
Take a look next time you'll see it too. It's probably the cement dust from the old wall they demo'd. Probably need to go through there a few times with the sweeper trucks and eventually I'm sure it will dissipate but it's probably really bad to breath in every day. In my car it's filtered but on the moto you are right there sucking it all in.
