I-10 west of blythe backed up BAD Labor Day!

Just drove east bound I-10 from CA to AZ. Due to the bridge being down to one lane I-10 was backed up 12 miles in both directions. Took 1 1/2 hours to get thru. Hope that was due to holiday traffic and is not normally that bad!

    :C

    The alternate routes take as long or longer than just waiting it out in the traffic

    ...Children - getting back to the OP's post....the bridge went out during a heavy rainstorm therefore down to one lane. I sure hope it's back in service before Quartzsite time in January.
