One other hot spot includes westbound Hwy. 36 just past 35E.
We've got a few troublespots out there:
A couple vehicles are off to the right shoulder on westbound Hwy. 36 at the railroad bridge just past 35E. Look for slowdowns beginning at Edgerton.
On westbound 694, a couple vehicles are off to the left shoulder near Victoria St. The backup begins at Rice Street.
