Bulle bypass finally complete

Gstaad to Geneva has always evoked the question: the twists, turns and unpredictable weather of the Col du Pillon or Col des Mosses; or the easier alpine cruise but interminable rush hour traffic of Bulle.  Well the decision just got a bit easier with the opening of the new Bulle bypass. Connected by two shiny new tunnels, passing underground to the south and west of the town from the Migros "barcode" shopping center on the Gruyère side to the Coop gas station by the highway, the bypass takes just 4 minutes to travel, and in rush hour or Sunday evenings could see you shave as much as 15 minutes off your journey time. Seems like it took an age to build, but it was worth the wait.
