The morning commute is getting in gear with traffic volumes building on southbound 35W through Shoreview and Mounds View.
Highways and freeways are in good shape with mostly wet roads. But getting to those mainline roads will be a challenge.
Look for trouble on the sidestreets and lesser-traveled roads, and on ramps and bridges.
We have a crash on the exit from westbound 694 at East River Road in Fridley.
We have a report of an injury accident in Brooklyn Park at Brookdale Drive and Regent Avenue.
The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.
