With crews narrowing the inner loop to one lane near Telegraph Rd. for a bridge project, officials predicted traffic backups of up to 15 miles in the area this weekend.

The inner loop project is just one of many that will cause commuter headaches this weekend. Dr. Gridlock has a complete rundown.

We will provide more details as the situation develops.
