The trail near me closed in both directions (2 bridges being replaced+resurfacing) for 6months+ (no estimate other than "early 2024"). By now I'm pretty sure I lost any benefit I had built up on my ebike (131 miles, that's with 250w assist but also gears).
So ~*maybee~* (voice from Worthikids animation "Free Apple" at 2:15).
Also can you imagine a highway closing here in summer and the estimate being "I don't know, next year sometime"? Looking it up, it seems highway closures (for a road bridge) are around a month. And given the listed detours they probably don't just do it as one bulk closing that cuts off multiple potential routes at the same time. Goes to show the priority I guess.
