As we speak, look out for the stall blocking the center lane on southbound 35W just before Industrial Blvd.

From a traffic standpoint, the commute has been a breeze for anybody who did go to work today. Much lighter traffic volumes have led to a delay-free ride to work for the most part.

We have had a couple stalled vehicles and no crashes on the mainline. Scanners have been quiet, too.

As we speak, look out for the stall blocking the center lane on southbound 35W just before Industrial Blvd.

This afternoon promises to be a rough ride. The Drive will be here with an afternoon edition of traffic reports.
