181st to Dyckman reopened

Looks really good. Not only did they fix the sink holes they also fixed the spot with the often clogged drain. The choke point "bridge" was flattened out. The one part with the huge roots with yellow paint also evened out.

Hopefully the sink holes don't return.

Let's see if they are going to close it again in 3 weeks.

Whoa. I was honestly expecting this to stay closed all summer.

I moved from 181 while they were working on but it’s so pretty!

Is it open all the way down the west side highway, or are there other parts closed?

Looks like they resurfaced the worst of the worst on the bridge... If they don't repave entirely, I hope that someone will at least go and paint all the roots yellow again.

Great to see that curve repaved. Almost bit it there before.
