Eastbound Evening Delay Reaches 3.5 Miles on Tuesday
While the morning saw heavy fog with reduced visibility around 10:42 AM, traffic moved normally until the evening commute. Eastbound drivers faced a 3.5-mile backup starting at Exit 29a (Bush Frontage Road) at 5:06 PM, which pushed peak eastbound travel times to 25 minutes. This delay occurred during preparations for two-way operations that closed the westbound left lane, and all congestion cleared by 7:11 PM.
