    Often what is the truth is not what your told but pictures don't lie.

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     A large swath of Interstate 405 in Los Angeles, California -- the nation's busiest highway -- was closed this weekend for the latest phase in a massive construction project dubbed 'Carmageddon II,' but montebubbles says she was 'surprised at the lack of work being done' when she shot these photos on Sunday.

    The closed section was reopened to traffic ahead of schedule Sunday night and city officials declared the latest phase a success. The overall $1 billion, four-year project will add a northbound carpool lane to the freeway. 'I am looking forward to the end of the construction, as it frequently takes one to one and a half hours to travel a few miles from Santa Monica to Beverly Hills during peak travel periods,' the iReporter said.

    This evening in Los Angeles the people were told that Carmageddon 2 was a major success but unlike Carmageddon 1 they had to use all the time they had to get it open Sunday night. The photos below taken Sunday afternoon show one person and one person only totally working. We have over 1,000 pictures showing that everyone but a few people driving on the road and local police left long before the road was reopened. There is a old rule about never lie about anything you can get caught at and in a digital age you get caught really easy in a outright lies.
