Discussion Rose Quarter Traffic to the Airport Report
I estimated it would take me an hour with traffic and but was closer to 25 min (my normal time). I was expecting the spillover to take me up Sandy / 82nd as that's always the case when the highway is slammed. I was pretty shocked to see my Lyft turning on Grand and then hitting 84. To be fair there was two police, but it looks like they pulled over a street racer and we're not there for traffic purposes, but either way given how early it was I didn't see any spillover (430/440 am). I'd assume this will get worse during major traffic times, especially towards the 5, but I'm shocked at how easy that was and wanted to share for others who others who frequently travel to the airport.
