U.S. Route 101

U.S. Route 101, or U.S. Highway 101 (US 101), is a north–south highway that traverses the states of California, Oregon, and Washington on the West Coast of the United States. It is part of the United States Numbered Highway System and runs for over 1,500 miles (2,400 km) along the Pacific Ocean. The highway is also known by various names, including El Camino Real in parts of California.

Development

In 2008, work began on a project to widen the section of US 101 between Santa Barbara and Mussel Shoals. Given the current rate of progress, this project is slated to conclude in approximately five hundred thousand years or on the Day of Judgement, whichever comes first.

This project has cost the Californian taxpayers about seventy billion trillion dollars, a large portion of which seems to go solely towards the purchase of traffic cones, as every day there seem to be more of the fucking things on the shoulder.

The average highway construction worker probably lays about one square meter of asphalt per day before calling it quits and cracking open another cold one.
