The analyses of a text #2

JOHN :Right... It's junction 13 that' just murder, isn't it... total gridlock this morning.
<Of the movie Love Actually>
1. I'd like to know the blue clause is the cleft sentence for emphasizing the words "junction 13."
2. I'd like to know why it is the comma, not period after the clause in blue.
3. And I'd like to know if "isn't it... total gridlock this morning." means "Isn't it total gridlock this morning?"
Thank you in advance for your help.

Note that it is from the movie, not of the movie. The same is true of other narrative forms. from the book, from the novel, from the story, from the play, etc.
