This is just a warning for those of you who don't already know, due to the recent construction on expressway 83, if you are traveling west bound towards mission, when you reach the Bryan exit before Conway there is a step up where the gravel meets the concrete of the actual bridge and it is death. I've already hit this bump and it hurt even me and that's cause i have 65's, i can just imagine those who have 35's and 40's. My girlfriends co- workers husband hit this bump and it popped his tire and bent his rim bad. There is good news though, the bump is only on the middle lane and the fast lane, if you stick to the lane to the left you'll be fine. drive safe.

 

thanks for the heads up, i didnt even notice that last time i drove there.. im always careful though coz i have 40s and pretty much anywhere you drive here is a potential disaster lol

 

my family lives out there off bryan, yea i hate it, its been under construction FOREVER

 

ya know i drive 83 alot and it's weird cuz im always exiting off that area so i never noticed that bump. I'll keep it mind when i'm speeding my box thru there on my 35's

 

areyes are you already in the valley?

 

Well the bump has never been there before, the only reason it became a problem is because of the recent repaving of the expressway. I've seen other sections of the expressway that are lower where the gravel meets the concrete but the city put gravel on most parts to make small ramp connections. im guessing they didnt do a good job on the bryan part of it. As for being from the valley, yes im from here, born and raised. Well for the most part, lived on La Homa almost my whole life.

Very Funny areyes, scarrin people like that. LOL!

 

x2 lol

 

lol. sorry guys. it was messed up for about a week but then they seemed to have "smoothed" it out. not perfect and still kinda sloppy work on missions part, but no longer a death bump like when i first hit it. sorry...meant to tell yall sooner

 

areyes, so you here perminatley yet or your still in the process of movin. some of us will be going to corpus for the heatwave next week, wondering you wanted to go and hang out

 

i would love to hang out with you guys recka the thing is i just got a job where i work at night from 11 -7 and that shift is just killing me in the whole sleep department, especially since i have to stay up additional hours during the day to get things done. anything local I'm up for though but right now i dont trust my self driving for three hours straight right now...lol, not until i get use to the whole nocternal thing...lol

 

HEY hey! Nokturnal a bad word round here! LOL! J/K. cool man. i'm a x-ray tech, what type of work you do?

 

I'm starting work as a Overnight Sleeping Establishment Account Specialist with the Hampton Inn & Suites in Pharr (Night Auditor...lol) , so basically I'm working with numbers all night. For now I'm just doing trainging then as soon as the property in Mission behind Target opens up ill be transfered over there. Its not that bad cause I'm pretty good with numbers, like i said the only thing is the pm shift. Come 4am all your doing is . Did it for 2 years as well about 2 years ago so now i just have to get use to it again.

 

Damn! get some sleep. LOL! no wonder ur seeing death bumps.

 

lol you sure it even does exist? jk

 

lo l... well i didn't really see the bump as much as when i hit it, it violently shook my suspension so hard that it actually woke me up cause i was falling asleep behind the wheel ... lol
