Eastbound traffic experienced peak delays of 17 minutes between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., with congestion reaching a 2.5-mile backup stretching to Exit 30 (Bayhead Road). Dense fog significantly reduced visibility for the duration of the afternoon and evening, preventing the implementation of two-way traffic operations.
