Two semi-trucks are blocking traffic on the bridge between ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç and West ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç which is causing significant delays for commuters.

A driver stuck in traffic on Highway 97 reported that the two semis are unable to climb the hill into West ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç due to icy road conditions. They said that at least one car was also having difficulty driving up the hill and was blocking traffic.

One commuter said that it took them approximately one hour to drive from Rutland to West ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç.

There is also a jackknifed semi transport truck blocking traffic on Elliott Road in West ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç. Emergency crews and a tow truck are working to clear the incident.

Drivers in ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç are unable to turn onto Cooper Road from Harvey Avenue due to a two-vehicle collision. Police and fire crews are on scene clearing the incident but the intersection is currently blocked.
