West Sunset
In case you have not been out that way, the bridge on West Sunset is undergoing repairs, meaning a pretty lengthy detour in order to get to Tower Road if you are used to using Sunset to get there
It's just Tower Rd (it's a radio tower that gives it its name). And the detour is 0.5 miles longer to get from Emerald to Tower. Maybe "lengthy" for Carbondale, but not really a significant delay. Now, combine that closure and the closure at Oakland and Chautauqua, both of which are part of my usual bike commute, and my route is a whopping 0.7 miles longer. Or 23% longer if you want to sensationalize it.
