I heard that I 40 has been reduced down to one lane in several areas due to repairs on bridges. Any input on how bad the traffic is? I am heading out to Laughlin at around 1:00 this afternoon and I was wondering if I should take the 10 and go out through Desert Center.
Any input?

You should be fine leaving at 1:00 on I 40. The bridge construction that took forever has been completed but there is still a section that is reduced to 1 lane. You should be fine just dont get stuck behind a semi!

Went thru there last Thursday and it wasn't bad, had to slow to 55 or less.
If you go out the 10, take 62 thru 29 Palms to Amboy, alot shorter than Desert Center

Yep, took me about 45 min longer due to traffic heading out last weekend. I came through about noon...

Thank's againg. We are not coming home until Monday so hopefully there will be no traffic. There is no rush to get there so we'll keep slow in the "Cone Zone".
Were out of here! See you on the water.

2 words... Amboy Road. Drops right in at Mountain Speings, just past the mess around Goffs.
