7:35 a.m. update: A good commute in progress

Traffic on northbound Hwy. 169 is lighter than normal and that has kept things moving reasonably well from Canterbury Road up to 494. A new closure at 494 threatened to tangle traffic, but that has not materialized this morning. That closure from 494 to Bren Road north of the Crosstown will be in place until October.
