6:50 a.m. update: Crash on the Crosstown

By Tim Harlow

June 12, 2014 — 6:52am

The first crash of the morning comes on the westbound Crosstown just past Cedar Avenue in Richfield. The action is on the left shoulder. So far, it's not causing any delays.

Look for slowing traffic on westbound Hwy. 36 from Dale Street to Snelling Avenue as levels build through Roseville.

Speeds drop to 30 to 40 miles per hour on southbound 35W from Lake Drive to Hwy. 10. Look for extra traffic on eastbound Hwy. 10 merging onto 35W due to the Hwy. 65 closure through Spring Lake Park and Fridley.

We've got minor delays on northbound Hwy. 169 across the Bloomington Ferry Bridge, but both northbound Cedar Avenue and 35W in the south metro continue to roll along at near the posted speeds.

The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.
