Just so we can read your informative, helpful, and well thought out humble replies:posting::1rotfl:

I haven’t been over to see this in person but google maps and fl511.com are not showing any backups. Also, the camera at that location seems to be gone.

[QUOTE=vintageogauge;2322375]The original post stated that the delay is south of 470 and you are saying it is at 301 and you used the 470 south on ramp. I'm confused.[/QUOTE

By taking surface streets south to the 470 on-ramp rather than enter the pike at 301 we were able to avoid several miles of barely moving traffic. Once we entered the pike at 470 we had only a short distance until traffic was moving again. It didn’t really save us time, it just saved us several miles of sitting on the pike barely moving. It’s incorrect that the turnpike wasn’t backed up until south of 470. The backup began at the service plaza.

I’m heading for the airport Sunday. I’ve been wondering where I should get on the turnpike, so I find this post very useful.
If my mother was reading this she would say,
“If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.”

The construction is over. No backups, get on closest to you.
