285 from BV to C470 between 3:00 to 5:00 this morning was dry except for the downhill out of Conifer. No problems at speed limits +/- 5mph.

Traffic is backed up heading northbound and southbound in the area of Pine Junction - Will O Wisp. Eyewitness reports indicate it may be due to construction stops.

Good morning! Travelers are saying that roads are only wet right now, but do be careful as you approach Turkey Creek Canyon heading northbound - those concrete panels they recently replaced on a couple of curves can cause your car to shift sideways just enough to make you slip if the road is wet or icy.

Safe travels and have a great day!
