    Great planning -- now both main entrances to campus will have reduced access during the first day of new student orientation on campus!

    Good grief, I had to run a "quick" errand to a doc. office at noon today, should have been 15 minutes there and back, it took a full 1/2 hour from all the detours. Crazy stuff.

    Next time try to plan construction projects early in the season as to NOT interfere with Alaskans!

    God forbid DOT work during the tourist season!
