Even though it's early, you'll need a few extra minutes to get to where you are going if you are driving on westbound 494 in Bloomington.

MnDOT crews are finishing up pothole repair on 494 between France Avenue and 35W. That work should be done by 6 a.m., but for now, look for slow traffic in the area.

Also watch for a single car rollover crash on Cedar Avenue around 240th Street.
