We are so proud to share I-35/KTA has been repaired and is fully open, less than 48 hours from when it closed. The first 24 hours belonged to Mother Nature; the second 24 hours belonged to us. Watch how the work unfolded:

Put the phone away. Texting & driving is dangerous. It combines all 3 types of distractions: visual, manual, cognitive. Reading/sending a text takes your eyes of the road for at least 5 seconds which is long enough to cover the length of a football field while driving at 55mph.
