Commuters who use the ramp from northbound Central Avenue (Hwy. 65) to westbound 694 will need to find an alternate route. MnDOT closed the ramp Wednesday night and it won't reopen until mid-November.

Currently westbound 694 is seeing building levels of traffic with some minor slow downs from Main Street to Hwy. 252.

In Maplewood, Hwy. 61 continues to be a single lane in each direction between Larpenteur Avenue and Frost Avenue.

There is word that a tow truck is on the way to pull a vehicle off the light-rail tracks near the Ft. Snelling Station.

Elsewhere on the system, we still are seeing light levels of traffic and no accidents on the system.
