Cops on 94?

8-12 car pile up east bound towards moorhead.
and guess what, of course it was on the bridge again. Somethin needs to be done about that fucker, every day theres an accident on it. The spray they use to clear the ice on it makes it worse, especially for temps these low. Worthless project.

Maybe you guys should just not fail at driving up there...Exactly... if people weren't fucking idiots about driving on snow/ice it wouldnt matter bout the bridge...
And CMK... looks like ppl down there are worse, judging from the talk on mnsc... especially the pic of the suv hanging over an embankment...

First of all we dont use salt up here.Secondly it's the "de-icer" that it sprays on the bridge ,causing it to frost if it reaches a certain temp. One of the worst ideas's ever made

Exactly!
That project was a huge joke...a deicing system that doesn't work most of the time due to breakages, and when it does work, it only works down to what...20 degrees above 0? So 2/3 of winter it doesn't do a damn thing and then like you said, the stuff it sprays out ends up freezing anyways causing the bridge to become even icier.
They had to waste that $2Mil somehow though!

I think that deicer is so stupid, has any of you actually seen it spray the deicing solution? That fuckin dangerous. It sprays like straight up in a cloud outta no where and does it in an order where if your going 55 your going to hit all of them in sequence as they spray.

Experience in it happening?no i was actually about 20 feet behind and one lane to the left and watched it happen to someone else last year. It literally sprayed up and hit them like 7 or 8 times in sequence. I couldnt believe it. Its lucky that it wasnt very cold at the time

Its lucky that it wasnt very cold at the timeYeah the thing doesn't work below 20 degrees I believe...some stupid temp that we are well below at least 80% of the winter season it seems like. They spent $2 Million on a bridge de-icing system that DOES NOT WORK below freezing basically and when it does work it just causes accidents because the shit they spray freezes.

that damn thing sprayed my car earlier this winter surpised the shit outa meLOL I was in the right lane one day when the fuckers popped up and started spraying. It startled me so bad that I swerved all the way over onto the shoulder. I laughed pretty good after it happened. They need to add something to warn you that they are about to pop up.

It would work pretty good than in my opinion, since around those temperatures, it's either basically teh beginning or end of winter. And we all know how people drive in the beginning. (Very dumb and into the ditch) They could do that or find a better compound of deicer versus what they are using now.

Either way right now that bridge is set up as a death pit every morning.
its not too bad as the day wears on but every morning theres always an accident

That's prob because ppl around here generally drive like tards... I had some bitch in an impala like 10ft off my bumper yest driving home on main... I was being careful and slowing down ahead of time, so I dont rear end the ppl in front of me, when she passed she gave me this pissed off look...
