Summary: Construction Delays on Highway 99
Northbound drivers on Highway 99 experienced significant delays between Modesto and Manteca on Friday morning, with travel times reaching up to 95 minutes. Construction work on a bridge, initially scheduled to finish by 5 a.m., continued past that time, resulting in a reduced lane configuration. Traffic was bottlenecked, causing jams that extended back to Modesto. However, traffic cones have since been removed, easing congestion. Overall, the morning commute was affected, with northbound lanes being limited to one lane early on.
