Default Eastside traffic question

Generally speaking, how heavy is traffic on M-59 between M-53 and M-97 between 8:15am - 8:45am during the morning commute? How long does it take to normally cover that route? Mapquest is says about 15 mins...

TIA

Going which direction? Its usually not too bad by then, but on westbound M59 between Mound & Rochester road it gets pretty slow every morning. I work at 59 &Romeo Plank, and live at 59 & Dequindre.

I'd say it would take just about 10-15mins as long as there are no accidents.

Whoops, forgot to include "eastward" as the direction. I didn't know how bad traffic is out t here, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask. Thanks for the help.

Going east is usually decent in the AM... west is another story.
