We are still a little less than a year out from the Willits Bypass being open to the public — patience! — but that doesn’t mean we can’t all have a preview of what it will be like to drive by Willits without Taco Bell temptation creeping through your windshield. 

Behold! Caltrans files the following video tour of the bypass, pre-lines, reflectors and pesky other drivers. In case you are a busybody concerned that they are driving too fast on unfinished roads, Caltrans calms your fears:

Our vehicle could only travel at approximately 30-35mph in the construction area, so we’ve sped up the video to roughly simulate freeway speeds (it’s still a little bit slower). 

Yeah, chill out, strap in and experience the future of your drive to Giants games, you lucky taxpayer.

UPDATE, 1:55: p.m.: Oh, was that too slow for you? Caltrans saw fit to upload a second version of this video, this one at an estimated 120mph. Zoom goes the progress!
