After almost nine years in the making, the Mexi-Canadian Overpass is complete. The Onion reports that the elevated highway linking Guadalupe,
Mexico and Winnipeg, Canada opened last week. Some U.S. residents are up in arms about the $4.3 trillion, 18-lane structure. “It would be one thing if we somehow benefited,” said Junction City, KS, business owner Neil Grandy. “But because of the way stations, we don’t get anything out of it and have to deal with people tossing garbage out of their windows at 80 mph. You wouldn’t believe what we’ve found some mornings. Everything from tamale husks to broken hockey sticks. The people on that bridge are animals.”
