They had all traffic stopped on the westhand side, maybe to clear debris. We werent quite sure what this stoppage was all about, but they have now picked that up and traffic is flowing, but a little busy for 5 21 in the morning. Hopefully that will recover before you get up and head towards the city. Behind the metering lights, yes, we still are seeing a little bit of a backup now. The cash paying lanes seem to be flowing better as are the carpool lanes, but the fast trackers, not so much. But not too terrible. Well see when the metering lights get turned on.
