Re: 101/Mathilda Construction Detours, Feb-May

For those coming from 101 south there are a couple of back ways to avoid 
the whole mess:

- Take the Fair Oaks exit off 101.  Fair oaks turns into Java Drive when 
you cross over 237.  Take Java to Mathilda, turn right.

or

- Take the Lawrence Expressway exit off 101.  Lawrence turns into 
Caribbean when you cross over 237.  Follow Caribbean all the way around 
and it runs right past Yahoo!
