It appears as if lighter than normal traffic volumes are making for a nice commute for most drivers, but as always, we do have some exceptions.

Drivers on northbound Hwy. 169 are tapping the brakes in the area of Pioneer Trail up to 494. That will take 8 minutes.

On southbound 35W, the slowest traffic is between Hwy. 10 and 694. Plan on 12 minutes there.

Watch for a pedestrian/car accident on Old Rockford Road at Peony Lane in Plymouth.

And the State Patrol is still on the scene of a crash in which a vehicle went off into the right ditch on northbound 35E at Little Canada Road in Maplewood.
