MnDOT crews are picking up the cones and barrels that are out on I-494 in Bloomington as they are finishing up overnight road work between France Avenue and Nicollet Avenue.

Outside of that, you will find building levels on southbound 494 from 94 down to 394 through Plymouth and Maple Grove.

I-94 between the downtowns is rolling along at the posted speeds.

And traffic is even moving just fine through the work zone on 694 between Hwy. 252 and East River Road. That work zone is likely to expand eastward toward Central Avenue in the near future, so watch for that.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020.
