interstate 40 Kingman Az . to Flagstaff Az.
Has anybody noticed how bad 40 has gotten? I wonder when they might fix it. I've gotten to the point where the loop from Kingman to Sleigman is the way to go.

We came east on I40 a couple of days ago and there is a major repaving project underway about 10 miles east of Kingman. The eastbound lanes are reduced to a single lane, they are repaving the left lane), and the back up had us crawling for half an hour. The right lane on this stretch has already been repaved. We turned south on 93 but there were signs warning of additional, probably similar, road construction ahead on eastbound 40.
Most of the backup was caused by the chuckleheads that roar up the left lane, ignoring the "Left Lane Closed Ahead" signs and then jam into the right lane just before the left lane disappears. This brought the right lane to a virtual standstill until a trucker (that I would love to buy a beer), saw the problem and took action. He simply straddled the line between the left/right lanes eliminating the chuckleheads ability to jump the line. All traffic immediately began to move more smoothly/quicker and we were soon through the construction zone. I gave the trucker a big thumbs up wave as he passed.
