Since they hadn't reached the brick pipe that I wanted another picture of last night, I was told to come back today. Of course, when I did, it was long gone. Oh, well.
No one today knew anything about a third opening near Anderson and Union, so, hopefully, the guy who told me that last night was just misinformed.
I have to get on one-way Ward St to park when I come home, but Main St was closed between Passaic St and Maple Ave. What to do? A cop advised me to come down Passaic and there'd be an opening in the barrier on Main and just make a left.
Sounded simple...........until I got to Union and Passaic, where a detoured NYC-bound 165 bus on Union was trying to make a left onto a backed-up Passaic St. It seemed like it took about 20 minutes to get from Union to Main St, where the REAL problem was.
Main St traffic was turning east and west onto Passaic. There were always 2 westbound-to-be cars from Main in the intersection when Passaic had the light, so nothing moved. When it DID, the westbound cars on Passaic that were stopped at Main were right behind them, so it was pretty difficult to turn left onto Main.
According to the latest update from the City, this should only be a problem for another day or two, when Main St will be reopened.
In the first picture, they're getting the replacement pipes in place.
In the second, the little digger from last night is gone.
In the third, I didn't like the shot I got of this last night, so I had to get a cleaner one of it today. There's not a lot of humor in this project, so I have to take it when and where I find it.
