Looks like a tire or some round object is blocking the ramp from eastbound 494 to France Avenue in Bloomington.

On the freeway itself, traffic volumes are building on both eastbound and westbound 494 from Hwy. 100 to Cedar Avenue. Plan on 12 minutes to get through.

We have no big delays, but you will find minor congestion on southbound Hwy. 169 from 63rd Avenue down to 394.

On southbound 35W, plan on 12 minutes from County Road J down to Hwy. 280.

Southbound 35E is moving fine, but things are starting to fill in from 694 down to University Avenue.

On westbound Hwy. 36, it's 10 minutes from Hwy. 61 over to Fairview Avenue.
