A. Tapescript:

High pollution season's got us watching our driving pretty closely, but workers at Martin Marietta are getting really practical help. RTD and Martin Marietta will run two new express routes especially for Martin Marietta employees. With eight morning arrivals and eight afternoon departures, the company is even subsidizing bus fare books and monthly passes as an added incentive to use mass transit. Carpooling is encouraged. And to solve a major concern for people using alternate transportation, there's a guaranteed ride-home program. The company's goal is to double the number of workers using alternate modes to the single occupant vehicle by the end of the year. The program will be studied by the State Health Department. The State Legislature also wants to find out which are the most effective ways to cut vehicle miles traveled

A -- Andy N -- Nick

A: And now over to Nick with the latest update on the traffic situation. N: Thanks Andy. Well, there's a bit of a headache for drivers coming into the city-center this morning. First of all, a serious accident has completely blocked the A6, Chapel Street, in Salford, between Bridge Street and Blackfriars Street. There are already long tail-backs of traffic there and the police say the road won't be open again for another hour or so. Drivers should use Liverpool Road to come into the city-center from the Salford area. Once again, that's an accident blocking the A6, Chapel

Street, between Bridge Street and Blackfriars Street, in Salford. Another emergency, this time in John Dalton Street in the center of town, er where a fire has meant the closing of the road and has also led to restricted access to Albert Square and the southern end of Cross Street, down there near the Town Hall. Avoid that area if you possibly can; it looks like things are pretty snarled up there. John Dalton Street, at the junction with Cross Street and Albert Square; there's a fire, causing serious congestion and delays, of course.

Er, Meanwhile, in Cannon Street, things are pretty wet outside the Cathedral, because.., yes, you've guessed it, there's a burst water main. The Water Authority gentlemen are all out there in their Wellingtons, but the road is, in fact, closed to traffic. That's Cannon Street closed between Deans-gate and Corporation Street, due to a burst water main.

And, finally, there are road-works starting today in Mosley Street, in the city-center, between Princess Street and Piccadilly Gardens. This section of Mosley Street will be reduced to single-lane traffic controlled by temporary traffic-lights and delays are expected. The work is due to last at least a fortnight. So, try to avoid Mosley Street, if you're in a hurry and,
