Westbound traffic on Highway 50 was backed up from Brass Ball Corners east to 246th Avenue in Paddock Lake a couple times that I saw today. My amateur opinion is that the problem is the temporary traffic signals at the intersection related to the construction work there and on Highway 75.
I have some inquiries out to get the official scoop, but you might work around the area in the meantime during peak travel periods if you are in a hurry.
