I-10 moving again after a miles-long slowdown due to construction and wreck

Drivers were back up to speed on Interstate 10 eastbound Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m. Traffic was backed up for miles along Interstate 10 through Banning and Cabazon Thursday morning as construction work and a collision closed two of the freeway's four eastbound traffic lanes.

The slowdown continued for more than five miles from the Banning airport heading into Whitewater.

Westbound traffic was not impacted by the slowdowns. 

There is construction going on with the I-10 tuneup project so traffic is down to two lanes which is likely contributing to the backup.
