Neglected to take GPS and map since I knew anticipated route. Long story short had to follow airplanes landing to find 417 north to 528 east of airport 30 minute delay. No major problem on pickup but could have been issue if flying out.

There was a simpler way but did not know it. Just a warning to those flying out if rare experience repeats. Plan ahead.
Thanks for the heads up! I just turn on Google maps on my cell phone and it tells me all detours and traffic delays and re routes me automatically. Works great!
