Sometime this morning, MnDOT says it will shut down the ramp from East River Road to eastbound I-694. Right now that ramp is still open.

Right now eastbound 694 bunches up on the Mississippi River bridge but things loosen quickly once you cross over the river.

All lanes on northbound Hwy. 52 are a back open. A stall had been blocking the left lane on the Lafayette bridge. With work in progress, that's always a tough spot. But a MnDOT vehicle was able to get the motorist on his or her way.
