The rush hour is starting to wake up as the first wave of commuters head into work. That has brought a tad of crowding on northbound 494 in Plymouth from I-394 up to Hwy. 55. The left lane is still blocked as overnight road work continues. That should be out of the way by 7.
So far so good on eastbound 94 at Snelling Avenue where the freeway is reduced to two lanes until Thursday.
Two crashes on the system at this hour is not impacting traffic. You'll them on northbound 35W at the I-694 interchange on the right shoulder and on southbound Hwy. 169 at 77th Avenue in Brooklyn Park.
