Barring traffic incidents, westbound delays start in the morning between approximately 6:15 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday. Travel early if possible. Weather permitting, the westbound span may be closed during the overnight period for roadwork with the reopening at 5 a.m. on weekday mornings.
