Two semi-trucks are blocking traffic on the bridge between 91´ó»ÆÑ¼ and West 91´ó»ÆÑ¼ which is causing significant delays for commuters.
A driver stuck in traffic on Highway 97 reported that the two semis are unable to climb the hill into West 91´ó»ÆÑ¼ due to icy road conditions. They said that at least one car was also having difficulty driving up the hill and was blocking traffic.
One commuter said that it took them approximately one hour to drive from Rutland to West 91´ó»ÆÑ¼.
The drive up the WR Bennett Bridge is a little sketch. Thank goodness for 4X4. Semi’s can’t make it up, nor rear wheel work vans. Gravel truck driver must have taken the afternoon off. 😩.
