Fun with LA’s Carmageddon – Forbes.com

Starting late tonight through early Monday morning July 18, ”Carmageddon,” as it’s become known, will close about 10 miles of the San Diego Freeway (a.k.a. Interstate 405, or just ”the 405″ to locals) for demolition work on a bridge. “Yeah, so?” you think?

How far will the snarls radiate? Nobody knows.

And that’s the fun.
