5 weeks ahead of schedule. I'd like to see more government contracts finished that fast.

I commented to a friend that lives in Atlanta...
Now set about making every highway wider through Atlanta and build about 4 more bypasses of Atlanta by July, please!

Wow! Congratulations to the contractors. I think they earned every penny of the bonus money for early completion!

Actually it will be open for traffic by rush hour Monday AM. Likely more Saturday or Sunday opening date. Not any too soon for us that have to drive that route regularly
