Any Phoenix area DISers who can comment on the I10 to Disneyland recently?

Just wondering if anyone knows what the freeway situation has looked like lately!
 
Not a PHX area DISer (I live right next to DLR!) but I was just in PHX/Tucson last week visiting my family and the 10 bridge collapse wasn't bad in terms of traffic. Driving from Anaheim to PHX on a Sunday night it took about 5hrs and from Tucson to Anaheim Tuesday morning it took about 6.5 hrs. It is down to 1 lane each way for maybe a 1 maybe 2 mile stretch. They already paved a cut over from the eastbound side to the westbound side. I could see it might present a bit of a back up during busier traffic times just due to the fact it goes from 2 lanes to 1 for a short stretch.
They had already torn down the failed bridge when I went past this Tuesday, but no idea how long it will take for them to build it back up.

That doesn't sound too bad.
 
Just went to Disneyland on July 28th from Phoenix and it was barely noticeable. It did go to one lane and the speed was slowed but it was not bad at all. It probably added about ten minutes to the drive at the most.
 
Also want to add that it appears they do the road work at night so it will make a difference when you are traveling. I've seen on my map with traffic app that it adds more time in the middle of the night to the drive.
 
Thanks to all! We are heading out for the 10K weekend over Labor Day and will be prepared for a little heavier traffic but it is good to know it's not usually a complete disaster!
 
We just got back on Monday from DLR and it wasn't bad at all. They have it down to one lane both directions, but we had no problem at all getting through. No traffic. They have it set up really well to help route cars through the bridge bypass. I wouldn't worry about it too much!
 
My husband drove it there and back. Except for a couple miles of lower speeds, it wasn't a problem at all.
 
I pulled it up on my GPS this afternoon and it was still recommending the Phoenix route, rather than the Yuma route, from Tucson. Looked to be about 15 minutes slower than usual is all.
 
We drove there Friday afternoon and back yesterday (Wednesday) and the bridge didn't make a smidgen of difference to our drive.
