Traffic was being directed on South First by cops at many intersections. Not very good for businesses since folks seem to be staying away this afternoon!

(10,170 posts)You never know.. but mornings tend to be better than later and 290 isn't usually bad unless the POTUS is coming through.

(29,414 posts)My father suggested because of northbound construction on MoPac that I take 71 to 21 and then over to Paige on 290 on Monday. I like the drive on 290 and I'm used to it, but will divert to avoid construction. Just have to get my bearings and pay attention to the signs.
