To and from work, you drive I-35W through the city twice a day, a couple hundred times a year. You drive it so often surrounded by rush hour traffic that you no longer even notice that part of your route passes some 60 feet over the Mississippi River. Or you’re heading to meet extended family for dinner like you have so many times before and find yourself late and crawling along in traffic on that same stretch of road. Or as a construction worker you’ve endured another hot day of Minnesota road maintenance, with impatient motorists shouting drive by obscenities over their inconvenience while you simply look forward to finishing your shift and heading home to family. Or on a whim, just this once, you decide to take the highway instead of the road less traveled.
