I just realized that DFW to Houston/Galveston is now Supercharged with an 80 mile detour. Of course, the trip is much easier as soon as Huntsville or Corsicana open up, but if you have a trip coming up and can spare an extra hour and a half, you can get there today. Waco to Columbus is a straight shot down HWY 77 to 71 in LaGrange.
Waco Supercharger to Columbus Supercharger is 154 miles.
Overall, a trip from DFW to Galveston via Waco & Columbus adds about 80 miles. But at least the electrons are free.
, and he said not on this job, but on Waco definitely, haha. I didn't have a lot of time to talk to him, plus he was, you know, working, but I forgot to ask when they planned to finish. He said they just do all the groundwork (digging, etc.) and the "city"(?) comes later to hook up the electrical stuff. That structure you see is actually the dumpster, not a transformer. He seemed to indicate that the transformer would come after they were done. I can't imagine it would take any longer than the others, which should give us a good idea since there are three others for us to go by. He did mention he's never seen one in person so if anyone feels like driving up there to show off your ride...lol. I jokingly asked him, "You mean you don't get a free one for each one of these you complete?" He also said there was another contractor working on them in Texas, but that he/his company did the one in Waco and (I believe) San Marcos. it involves walking along the road. (Starbucks is on the other side of the highway, and there is actually a pedestrian walkway on the overpass.)There's other stuff within walking distance, but since we don't believe in sidewalks in Texas
