The Granite Falls truck bypass road finally opened to traffic today after about a year and a half of construction. The county and city had a few dignitaries make speeches followed by a little ribbon cutting ceremony.

I’m anxious to see how the new route changes the traffic dynamics around Granite Falls. I’m happy that the project is finally completed, it was a dirty, nasty mess for months when they were doing the work. It’s going to take a while for people to get used to the new roundabouts. I’m hoping folks figure it out quickly rather than stop when there is no traffic, or get into the roundabout and come to a stop before exiting.. these things apparently are confusing to some drivers and can actually slow down traffic rather than improve it!
