I wonder if this article is correct? They are going to complete 3 lanes eastbound by Oct 2013? Seems pretty quick. Or are they talking about using both sides for EB?

The survey will gather base information for the widening project, which will expand the eastbound bore — a choke point for peak-season traffic returning to Denver from the mountains — and widen the highway to three lanes to improve the flow of traffic into Denver. The Twin Tunnels are set to open with three eastbound lanes by Oct. 31, 2013.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Come on LOL/Joe this is easy. We don't rate and those who use the tunnel do.
