Speaking of flooding

I hope your car comes equiped with a flotation device if you're planning on driving 5 through downtown. Apparently it is falling apart. Everyone swim for it! I hate flooding as much as the next girl, but oh dear god:

They will partially close I-5 for weeks at a time – risking massive traffic jams – to rip out and rebuild much of the freeway.

The project is scheduled to start the last week of May.

The project area runs from Richards Boulevard on the north to the Highway 50 interchange on the south.

Yikes!
