Default Temporary West Side Hwy death trap

They are repaving the north bound West Side Highway which is a potential death trap. Some of the lanare in the grated lane and you have to change lane, you will go down. es are grated down but other lanes are newly paved resulting in a 3~4 inch lip on the left side if you are in the grated lane. If you are in the grated lane and you have to change lanes, you will go down. The only lane that is fully paved is the inner most lane. Avoid the middle and especially the outer lane for the next week or so.

I caught air on the west side highway once. Luckily it was not where your talking about but a similar crater. Both wheels came off the ground, swear to god.
