DD has just rung to ask me to ring Hagley to say she's going to be late, and that they are stuck in traffic on Fitzgerald Ave, cars going nowhere.Anyone know what's going on!Thanks.

Not sure whats up but heard from two others stuck in same traffic, probably just more road works/lanes closed.

When I took the kids to school I noticed the traffic on Fitzgerald was a shocker (thankfully just went thru Fitz, not along it).Wonder why people didn't cut thru to Barbadoes or Stanmore!Also, I wonder why it was so gridlocked (only travelling south - northbound traffic was fine).

I think it is a funeral procession stopped while the hearse driver checks a message.

Wow, must have been bad all morning, I was stuck on there for ages at 8am but ended up turning down st asaph as nothing was moving . . .

Lights at end of Fitzi were only letting 3-4 cars through at a time so something stuffed up somewhere.

I went that way at the weekend and those lights were playing up then as well.

Traffic was bumper to bumper from Bealey Ave to Moorhouse on Barbados just after 8. Took me over 20mins to get all the way down. Crazy traffic, never seen it that bad, where cars coming over Bealey on Barbados couldn't get through the lights due to congestion.

Roll on Durham being re-opened.

Yuck. So was that just on Monday or is it ongoing!

goatchickens, May 9, 2012, 3:55 pm

It seems okay now (I go that way daily), so hopefully it was just a Monday glitch.
