7:05 a.m. update: Big delay on Hwy. 10

By Tim Harlow

January 4, 2013 — 5:23am

The worst delay on the system at this hour is on eastbound Hwy. 10 approaching the ramp to southbound 35W. There is a crash off to the right shoulder, and there's word that debris is in the right lane. Backups begin at Airport Road.

On southbound 35E, plan on 10 minutes from 694 to 94 as traffic volumes are increasing.

Ramps could be a bit slick, so keep the speeds down. The driver on the ramp from northbound 169 to Hwy. 7 probably wished he or she did. Their vehicle landed in the ditch.

Speaking of 169, we have no incidents, just lots of heavy traffic on the southbound side from 36th Avenue to Hwy. 7.

No problems on 94 between the downtowns. And 494 is flowing well, but you will find minor slowdowns westbound from Cedar to Hwy. 100.

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