Just how bad is the traffic on 280 between Chelsea and Lakeshore Parkway (London Parkway), AM and PM rush hour? Thanks!

Very heavy...and BTW it is indeed called Lakeshore and is not known as London....

My best guess is that travel time between Chelsea and the Lakeshore exit on 280 would be about 25 minutes....

Trivia: Lakeshore turns into Shades Creek Parkway and turns into Mountain Brook Parkway with no warning - can be confusing.

Bravo - 25 minutes without traffic IF you do not speed. There are several traffic lights on 280 now before you come to 119.
Drive it during a normal morning not when school is out. Under 45 minutes you are making good time.
