With the southbound lane on the Miles Hart Bridge now closed for reconstruction, Mayor Colleen Smook recommends motorists driving through the construction zone to add a few more minutes to their commute.
Smook says with the temporary traffic lights, the average wait time is nearly four minutes.
She explains that wait can be longer with higher traffic volumes, such as when going to or from the airport.
The lane is expected to be closed until November 15th, and the entire project is anticipated to be completed by fall 2024.
