Authorities have closed the ramp from westbound Hwy. 55/5 to Hiawatha Avenue as they work to clear a two-vehicle crash.

The tough spots this morning are on southbound 35W from Lexington Avenue to 694. A crash at 694 just cleared. There also had been some hay in the left lane. Things are still stacked up on eastbound Hwy. 10 as well.

Look for stalled vehicle on eastbound 94 at Western Avenue. It's on the right shoulder.

A couple of wrecks have plagued the drive at 694 and Hwy. 100. The ramps there are quite icy.

Look for a pocket of heavy traffic on southbound 35E from County Road J to County 96.

Southbound Hwy. 169 is filling in from 694 to Hwy. 7.
