Many people have died up there over the years. The area around the Twin Bridges is a bloodbath.

What "bloodbath"? What "numerous fatalities"? There's usually a trooper just North and/or just South of the bridge and that's a well known fact among regular travellers along that stretch of the Northway.

Dozens of times each week, the traffic reports go: "There's an accident near the Twin Bridges" "Huge accident just north of the Twin Bridges" "Major slowdowns due to a crash between Exit 7 and the Twin Bridges"! I mean, what's the deal here? Why is that particular area always the scene of numerous accidents all the time? Because people are constantly speeding and weaving!

It never fails-- when headed northbound between Exits 4 and 5, traffic in the right lanes comes to a screeching halt, and then up a little further after Exit 7, the LEFT two lanes comes to a screeching halt! Doesn't anybody observe this traffic phenomenon? Why do the right lanes always stop moving near one exit, and then the left lanes stop moving near the next?

It's because people WEAVE, TAILGATE, and SPEED in this area! And then add this to that slight turn in the highway just before the bridge, and the "optical illusion" always talked about up in that area, and in short, you get a BLOODBATH virtually every week!

Throw in the occasional Quebec tractor-trailer driver not paying attention, who then crashes and wipes out 6 lanes of traffic, or Aunt Tillie from Connecticut going 28MPH in the left lane, and you'll see why that section can quickly become the scene of chaos, mayhem, and distruction.

Two Shenendehowah kids were killed in a crash in that area this weekend.

Two kids were killed just north of the Twin Bridges a few weeks ago. I think this speaks for itself. The Northway has become a haven for maniacs. It's time that this is stopped.

Construction finished.
