Heavy fog overnight with clear holiday travel conditions all Sunday

Despite the holiday weekend, there were no reported backups or delays in either direction throughout the entire day, with travel times peaking at just 11 minutes eastbound and 9 minutes westbound. Two-way traffic operations were never implemented as traffic flow remained at normal speeds.
