We just bought in Linden and were told "sometime this year". I can understand how Alan is disappointed....but it's kinda like any type of sales, they are probably going to lean pretty hard on the upside and maybe gloss over the downside. Big construction plus (I'm guessing) plenty of red tape can lead to unexpected delays, unfortunately it's just a fact of life sometimes.
The bridges will be here soon, until then, as already mentioned, it's a pretty easy drive
