Traffic was restricted to one lane in the stretch from Bill Clinton Boulevard to just before South Spruce as two sign-holders and flaggers coordinated to halt westbound traffic every once in a while to allow eastbound traffic to use the westbound lane. Drivers experienced delays of only two or three minutes at maximum.
By 1:30 p.m. the contingent of workers had gone and traffic on both lanes was passing through free and clear. About three asphalted areas could be seen where the workers had just been.
