It's looking like Monday all over again as roads are still icy and traffic is heavy. A few spinouts have contributed to the slow drive. Plan on doubling or tripling your regular commute.

Here are a few trouble spots and drive times:

Southbound Hwy. 100 from 94 to 394, 21 minutes.

Southbound Hwy. 169 from 94 to 394, 25 minutes.

The left lane of westbound 494 at E. Bush Lake Road is blocked with a stalled vehicle

Southbound 494 from Bass Lake Road to Hwy. 62, 33 minutes. Look for a stalled vehicle at Bass Lake.

Eastbound 694 from 252 to 35W is 24 minutes; plan on 18 minutes heading west.

Northbound Cedar Avenue is at 20 miles per hour from the Minn. River to 494.

Hwy. 169 in New Hope.

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