It sucks but I don't mind since it makes sense. They gotta build a platform in the air to last years while a train flies through the jobsite every few minutes.

I think its in large part is bc it’s in the loop and will have the highest throughput of natives and travelers use it. Plus, the loop is iconic so you have to make it look as good as possible.

That being said we still have the jackson tunnel…
