I don't know about 7:40 AM, but here's a photo of the traffic at 9:20 AM courtesy of the UDOT traffic cameras. You can check traffic and road conditions at many canyon and Wasatch Blvd. camera locations via this UDOT web site,
http://www.utahcommuterlink.com. Their main map also shows colored coded traffic congestion. The cameras can be aimed by UDOT folks, so sometimes they pont in different directions. The camera at the mouth of LCC usually shows the traffic sign, and you can often read what it says about restrictions (in case your other sources are not quite up to date). This morning, however, the LCC camera is pointing down canyon.
