The crush is on for drivers on southbound 35W from Lake Drive to Hwy. 280. That trip is now at 20 minutes due to congestion.
On southbound 35E, things are filling in from Main Street to 694 and ahead from Hwy. 36 to downtown St. Paul. A stall blocking a lane at Pennsylvania Avenue is causing the havoc. 10 minutes from 694 to 94.
Elsewhere we have building levels on southbound 169 from 94 to 394 and on eastbound 94 from Brockton Lane to 694.
Heads up for a stalled vehicle and flashing lights on southbound 494 at Carlson Pkwy. in Plymouth.
The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.
