Hillsburgh and Nansensville are two major metropolitan areas only 50 miles apart  Until recently, the only road connecting the two cities was a traffic-clogged, six-lane Interstate Highway  Six years in the making, the Metro Expressway, a four-lane road connecting the two cities, was hoped to relieve this congestion
After the first month, however, the traffic along the Interstate Highway has not improved
During the month that the Metro Expressway opened, the railway workers who service the train connecting the two cities went on strike.
