7:05 a.m. update: Slogging along on 94 in northwest metro

By Tim Harlow

October 1, 2013 — 5:14am

Traffic is moving below the posted speeds and bunches up in several places on eastbound 94 from Hwy. 101 to 494/694. The result is a 20-minute ride.

Westbound 694 is down to two lanes from Long Lake Road to Hwy. 100. That's causing traffic to jam up from Central Avenue to Hwy. 252. Look for a stall at Shingle Creek Pkwy.

Southbound Hwy. 169 from 77th Avenue to Hwy. 55 is unusually heavy. Plan on 20 to 24 minutes there.

The bike versus bus accident sounds serious. Fire crews and an ambulance are on the way to the scene at 88th Street and Lyndale Av. S.

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