speculating.

Temps already at 40- direct sun and hardly a breeze - i would imagine they will probably open one lane until fully melted. Maybe, like most, shooting for noon at latest.

DOT doing the same here. Only 2 lanes On I-10 W open. I imagine the far right lane will be opened soon. It's
36 here now and the same. anything in the direct sun is thawing quickly.
 
Roads clearing quickly here in OS. Out to eat for lunch today and expecting to be back at school tomorrow.

well guess i was wrong. Still closed.

Not sure how, at 43 degrees, they dont know how to re-open some of the major connections at this point, but doesnt surprise me. That whole span should have been salted, but i guess they werent prepared for it. What a snafu.

I guess the spans aren't getting that ground-contact heating that the area's surface streets are getting.

My live-in daughter-in-law was determined to find an open urgent care this morning to get a flu test. Scheduled a test online at a Walgreen's walking distance from our house ... but when she drove there, it was still closed.

She's been driving the West Bank (Gretna-Harvey area) surface streets for the last two hours and change. Pulled through an open McDonalds somewhere and got lunch. She only reported one minor tire-slip somewhere on the ground-level Expressway. Otherwise, not bad to drive out there right now. Not ready to hazard any elevated roadways or anything over water ... but pipping around locally seems to be no problem.

EDIT: Update: Now my DIL is saying she was "sliding all over the place" while she was out and about. Not sure if she passed over any canals or culverts ... but knowing how it is around here, she probably passed over several.

How they dont have a truck full of propylene glycol to spray down the bridge is beyond me. Then again it is 24 miles each way so maybe not enough of it.

It’s a blistering 74 degrees today in Southern California & wall-to-wall sunshine but we are under constant threat of fire so I guess there’s that.
