West bound traffic can get through OK...eastbound traffic has a 1 mile detour for light traffic...TT units have about a 10 mile detour. No real issues so far. The eastbound lane will be out of service for about another month...which will take us into foliage season.

Here is another shot...the vehicles look like Tonka trucks...
