Lets check in with joel hillan. Good morning. Good morning. They have to lay down the asphalt before they can put cars back on, so those closures will be in place for a while. I think you might prefer this drive, take kipling to 6th, i think the lights are timeed better along there anyway. You could take alameda to sheridan trying to access 6th. In the next quarter hour or so, were really see traffic stack up in that northbound direction of wadsworth, so id avoid it. Going to be a tough situation on the west side of town.

For more on how to get around it, lets toss to joel hillan. Good morning, joel. Good morning, jamie. They have to mill , lay down new pavement, wait for that to dry before they put cars on it. I would take kipling or sheridan if youre trying to access from lakewood to 6th avenue. If you head north along kipling, i think you might prefer that drive, because i think the lights are timeed better there. This will last at least through the morning, even into the afternoon commute.
