Good morning drivers in the Willmont County region. //

This is Marcia Stonewell / with your 6 A.M. traffic update. //

Commuters heading south into the downtown Willmont area on Highway 78 /

can expect heavy traffic from the North Suburb district, /

with the usual slowdown at the Aaron Courtney Bridge /

due to a closed traffic lane. //

Routine construction is under way there. //

Traffic slows to walking speed / as it passes under the bridge, /

but soon speeds up again. //

You’ll want to figure on spending an extra 20 minutes /

on Highway 78 southbound. //

Elsewhere, / traffic is moving smoothly around the region, / but it’s still early. //

Tune in every half-hour for the latest traffic. //

Now, back to the news. //
