Roads Closed and Avocados: A Kiwi's Guide to Navigating October Traffic Chaos!

Brace yourself, Kiwi drivers! October is lined up with road closures, plus a virtual parade of avocados – don't miss out on the fun!

October is here, and with it comes a slew of road closures that could turn your commute into a test of patience. From the ever-busy Eglin Air Force Base area where Range Road 200 will be closed from October 1 to 4 between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., to the more extensive disruptions affecting the A580, where motorists can expect moderate delays from 9 p.m. September 23 to 6 a.m. September 30, caution is key! While the M6 junction 21A through 26 closes lanes north and southbound, be prepared to weave your way through the maze of detours. Remember to pack your patience, folks!

As if that’s not enough, the Kalāheo Water Systems Improvements Project is extending road closures for Puuwai and Poohiwi roads. This means that those scenic drives are no longer on the table and that drivers should keep a lookout for crews digging deep to lay down new water lines. It's essential work, but be ready for a few extra minutes in your commute as they dig their way to a more efficient water system. On the other side of the country, Milwaukee is gearing up for marathon weekend - and we all know what that means! Expect iconic routes like the Daniel W. Hoan Memorial Bridge to be lined with road closures as joyously dedicated runners take to the streets. If you're not a fan of running but love a good festival, don’t fret; there's still plenty happening in the city despite the temporary traffic madness.

Now, let’s talk avocados! If you find yourself in Pharr, Texas, be whisked away from road woes at the Avocado Festival on October 12, 2024. While you may have to dodge some closures to get there, the delicious representations of this versatile fruit will make every detour worth it. So, whether you're facing down road closures or relishing the richness of avocados, it seems that October is all about turns – in traffic, festivals, and flavors!

And just a little fun fact for you: Did you know that an avocado isn't actually a vegetable but a berry? That's right; if you’ve been munching on guacamole, you're indulging in fruit! In the spirit of fruitiness, with all these road closures, savor the roads left open and plan for those avocados that are being celebrated this month. Who says closure means the end? Sometimes it clears the path for an explosion of flavor and fun!
