Traffic is coming to a very slow roll on southbound Hwy. 100. The log jam kicks in at Cedar Lake Road and continues down to Excelsior Blvd.
The reason: Hwy. 100 in both directions has been reduced to two lanes in each direction from Barry Street to 36th Street. The highway is being redone this summer and next and will have three lanes in each direction when the project is finished in 2016.
